Use And Care Manual

WARNING:
When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts. Use of
any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
WARNING:
To avoid serious
personal injury, always unplug the power
from the product when cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
Periodic maintenance allows for long life
and trouble-free operation. A cleaning,
lubrication 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. Check the state of all electrical cables.
4. Keep the motor air openings free of oil,
grease and sawdust or woodchips, and
store the tool in a dry place.
5. Be certain that all moving parts are well
lubricated with silicone or light oil spray,
particularly after lengthy exposure to
damp and/or dirty conditions. Do not
use grease, because it tends to attract
and hold sawdust.
6. Check for loose screws, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, or any other
condition that may affect the operation.
7. If abnormal vibration or noise occurs,
turn the saw off immediately, and have
the problem corrected before further
use.
SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate
under the table and base. This could cause
difficulty in the movement of the table when
setting up a miter cut. Frequently blow out
or vacuum up the sawdust.
LOWER BLADE GUARD
Do not use the saw without the lower blade
guard.
The lower blade guard is attached to the
saw for your protection. Should the lower
guard become damaged, do not use the
saw until the damaged guard has been
replaced. Check regularly to make sure the
lower guard is working properly. Clean the
lower guard of any dust or buildup with a
damp cloth.
