Hello Gurus,
I had posted initially here (https://www.sawdustzone.org/forum/di...2-wish-me-luck) but I realized later that it may be a wrong forum. My apologies - just learning here.
Anyway, next part of the story - I opened the saw and turns out it's not in a terribly bad shape as I had thought. Please see photos. Also, another relief is both shims appear in place.
So here are my questions -
1. Given the state the saw is in I think complete disassembly may not be warranted. Am I right?
2. I still think removing Shroud (Photo 1) may be good idea to clean and also lubricate the rails on which shims ride. How do I get the Shroud removed? The screws are quite tight - I am afraid of breaking them. Are they installed with Loctite or something like that? Shall I use penetrating spray and then try?
3. These photos are taken after the left panel was removed. But I am not able to remove the right panel - the one that has power plug. I need to remove this panel so that I can access the motor from back, clean it and also be able to clean & lube the rising/ lowering mechanism. I have removed 6 screws holding the panel, removed 2 screws holding the power plug block and also loosened the green grounding screw. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for all your help. And sorry if I am asking too many questions. But I am excited to get the saw up & running and then produce some sawdust.
