Man! Excellent replies. Thank you all.
In light of the many votes for Johnson's Paste Wax, I'll try to pick some of THAT up locally. Never used it before, so not sure what type of store sells it. I'll try the local Wal-mart, then Home Depot, etc.
I'm especially glad to read about its use on the tilt and elevation gearing. This is a new saw, and I want to give it "a good start", so that's great, useful information.
