I have to watch out for assumptions! Nylon gears must not be lubricated and I extrapolated that - when I should have just RTFM!

From the 1015 manual Section IV, Maintenance, pg 36:
*LUBRICATION
*CHASSIS*
*Oil the main cam shaft front and rear bearings, the main drive bearings, the motor oil cups, the brake and the turntable and bearing assembly with SAE No. 10 acid free and wax free oil. (See Figures 51, 52, 53 and 54.) Use SAE No. 40 oil to lubricate the clutch and the /_main drive gears_/. *

I just put a new main fiber gear in my W1015 and was wondering if it required any lubrication? I put a few drops of oil on the worm gear but I’ve heard different opinions over the years so now that it was my turn to do this I thought I’d ask the option of the group. Thanks, Mauro
