Use and Care Manual

The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial
mill supply houses, provides proper lubrication and keeps
chips from adhering to the blade.
Be sure to properly secure workpiece. Refer to Saw Blades
under Accessories for correct saw blade.
BOWED MATERIAL
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in
Figure 31 and never like that shown in Figure 32. Positioning
the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near
the completion of the cut.
CUTTING PLASTIC PIPE OR OTHER ROUND
MATERIAL
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut
just like wood and CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE
FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is extremely
important when making angle cuts.
CUTTING LARGE MATERIAL
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too
large to fit beneath the blade guard. A little extra height can
be gained by rolling the guard up out of the way, as shown in
Figure 24. Avoid doing this as much as possible, but if need
be, the saw will operate properly and make the bigger cut.
NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD
OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
MAINTENANCE
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or
aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic guard. The polycarbonate
material used in the guard is subject to attack by certain
chemicals.
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and
need no further maintenance.

2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around
AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even though
slots are provided to allow debris to pass through, some
dust will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years of
use. To replace the brushes refer to Brushes on page 8
or return the tool to the nearest service center for repair.
A list of service center locations is packed with your tool.
