OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operations, or
when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also
wear a dust mask.
It has been found that electric tools are
subject to accelerated wear and possible pre-
mature failure when they are used to work
on fiber, 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.
WARNING:
Do not at any time
let brake uid, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oils, etc. come in
contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic, which
may result in serious personal injury.
Periodic maintenance allows for long life
and trouble-free operation. A cleaning and
maintenance schedule should be maintained.
As a common preventive maintenance
practice, follow these recommended steps:
1. When work has been completed, clean the
tool to allow smooth functioning of the tool
over time.
2. Use clean damp cloths to wipe the tool.
3. Keep the motor air openings free from
oil, grease and sawdust or woodchips,
and store tool in a dry place.
4. Be certain that all moving parts are
well lubricated, particularly after
lengthy exposure to damp and/or
dirty conditions.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated
with a sufficient amount of high-grade lu-
bricant for the life of the tool under normal
operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required.
WARNING:
To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed
by a qualied service technician.
WARNING:
For your safety, always
turn off the switch and remove the battery
from the band saw before performing any
maintenance or cleaning.
The tool may be cleaned most effectively
with compressed dry air. Always wear
safety goggles when cleaning tools with
compressed air.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
5. Do not bear down while cutting. The
weight of the tool will supply adequate
pressure for the fastest and safest
cutting.
6. When completing a cut, hold the tool firmly
so it will not fall against the work-piece.
7. Remove the saw from the cut before
releasing the trigger switch to turn the
saw off.
