JIG SAW MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance of your jig saw allows for long life and trouble-free
operation. The saw can generate considerable quantities of cutting residue.
A cleaning and maintenance schedule should be maintained.
As a common-sense and preventive maintenance practice, follow these
recommended steps:
• Inspect the blade; check the rim for wear or damage.
Keep the ventilation slots of the motor clean to prevent overheating of the motor.
Electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure
when they are used to work on fiberglass boats and sports cars, wallboard,
spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and grindings from these materials
are highly abrasive to electrical tool parts, such as bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not recommended that this tool be used
for extended work on any fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compound,
or plaster. During any use on these materials, it is extremely important that the
tool is cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
Use a soft clean and damp cloth to wipe the tool housing. A mild detergent
can be used but nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent. Never
use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
_l_ WARNING: When changing a blade immediately after operation, allow the
blade to cool before removing it to avoid possible burning.
WARNING: Keep the tool's air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
_, WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc. to come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Water must never come into the tool.
LUBRiCATiON
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-
grade lubricant for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
