Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1.
BEFORE EACH USE,
inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware,
• misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• cracked or broken parts,
• damaged electrical wiring, and
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2.
AFTER USE,
wipe external surfaces
of the tool with clean cloth.
3.
WARNING! If the supply cord of this
power tool is damaged, it must be replaced
only by a qualified service technician.
Checking and Calibrating the Fence
The Fence holds the workpiece in a fixed position
while the Table and or the blade assembly
are adjusted in a miter or bevel angle.
To make accurate cuts, the Fence must be
perpendicular (at a 90º angle) to the Saw Blade.
1. Before beginning work, make a test cut on
scrap material with the Table set at 90º.
2. Check the cut with an accurate square.
You can also reverse the two pieces, hold
the cut ends together, and hold a good
straight edge along the side of the pieces.
3. If either test reveals that the cut is not a true 90º
angle, adjust the Fence before beginning work.
If Fence needs adjustment:
1. First unplug the tool.
2. Lower the blade assembly and lock it
in place using the Locking Pin.
3. Adjust each Sliding Fence (62, 73) to
be close to the Blade without touching
it at any time during operation.
4. Lay a carpenter’s square on the table with
one edge along the blade and the other along
the Fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible.
NOTE: The square must contact the surface of
the blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading.
5. The Fence is held in place with bolts at each end.
Loosen the bolts slightly, and gently tap the
Fence into position using a soft mallet. Retighten
the bolts and make another test cut. Repeat the
process until the Fence is adjusted accurately.
6. Once the Fence is accurately adjusted,
tighten the bolts firmly in place. Recheck
one last time, then proceed to work.
