HOW TO GREASE THE GEAR ASSEMBLY ON THE DEWALT DC385K RECIPROCATING SAW.









STEP 1: PUSH PIN AND REMOVE SHOE.












STEP 2: REMOVE BOTH BRACKET SCREWS. THEN FIRMLY GRAB THE RUBBER BOOT AND SLIDE OFF.












STEP 3: REMOVE BOTH PLASTIC COVERS.












STEP 4: WITH A GREASE GUN, SQUEEZE IN THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF THE MANUFACTURE’S SPECIFIED GREESE.



IF YOUR DEWALT DC385K RECIPROCATING SAW HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED, IT MAY BE A GOOD IDEA TO REMOVE THE GREESE CASE COVER & CLEAN ALL PARTS AND BEARING, INSPECT AND REPLACE THE GASKET IF NEEDED.

My DC385 gets really hot to the touch on the front grip when using it for heavy cutting jobs. Anyone else run onto this?

Last week I had to cut through several old 4" galvanized pipes, by the time I was done it was noticeably warmer under boot. That's where a lot of the friction happens, which is why it's important to properly maintain that area with lube.

My gasket of DC385K has blown upon heavy job, how could i get the actual size of it so i can replace it?
I'm in Hong Kong, a small Asian city, i can get the similar material but it is difficult to get part from dewalt

I would recommend ordering it from Dewalt, or another online parts dealer.
