MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed
by a qualied service technician.
WARNING:
When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts. The use
of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause damage to the product.
WARNING:
Unplug the circular
saw from the power source before
cleaning or performing any maintenance.

Using compressed
air may be the most effective cleaning
method. Always wear safety goggles
when cleaning tools with compressed air.
WARNING:
If the supply cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through
the service organization.
Before each use:
Inspect the circular saw, the switch,
and the cord for damage.
Check for damaged, missing, or worn
parts.
Check for loose screws, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, or any other
condition that may affect the operation.
If abnormal vibration or noise occurs,
turn the circular saw off immediately,
and have the problem corrected before
further use.
WARNING:
Do not allow brake
uids, gasoline, petroleum-based
products, penetrating oil, etc. to come
into contact with plastic parts. These
substances contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
