    Wow tedious work but amazing how important this cleaning contributes such benefits to the well being of the machine. God bless you, you sure are a wise man and set a good example for me to keep my (sewing) machine clean and it wont act up on me lol. God is is right, there is no reward in laziness but rather reap His reward when we are diligent. 😁🙏💛 #ilearnedSumthing2day #thankyou

    I might have missed seeing one so far but have you considered doing a video on how to do a blade alignment? I bought my Lt40 used so I've missed more then a few of the maintenance processes being 100% self taught. Like this video is great! I didn't even know there were grease points inside the the control panel lol. One of my first logs was a 40" X 15' red oak, pretty sure I messed the blade alignment doing that nightmare of a log (WAY too big for a standard LT40S)

      Didn't miss anything, but that's a good idea for a video. The WM manuals do cover a lot of info, but they're not the best organized so it's easy to miss stuff.

    Should the battery be disconnected down by this type of work?

      everybody always says to disconnect the battery for any electrical work, but I never do

    Is that just dielectric grease? Dont think my 99 super has that in the cover

      It's not, but not sure what the difference is. Call up WM they can get you a cup

      This is why I always have to replace my switches

      @@DeannaDDuren probably need a good cleaning, sometimes if there's a lot of gunk you can push it around and make it worse. Use lots of qtips and alcohol. Be very thin with the grease, a lil goes a long way

      Deanna During, I haven't greesed mine either and my LT40 is 36 years old. But looking at them this morning I guess I should have.

    If WM was not so cheap they would put in Gold contacts. But cheap , Cheap, Cheap.
