When the weather shifts from cold to warm my shop turns into a swamp. I mean everything with a metal surface...

Does anyone have an owners manual for one of these saws? I recently won one at a local auction. Manufacturers tag states Model # 3Z990. I have contacted Wilton to see about getting a manual for it and they don't show that model as having existed. Tried scouring the interwebs and nothing.

I am getting ready to run the water line from my well to my new shop. The distance from the pressure tank at the well head to the shop is a run of 260'. For the most part it is a fairly straight shot with only a long arc over the length of the run. I have access to a backhoe so it will be...
