MAINTENANCE
1. General
The machine is maintenance free, except for changing the saw blade when
necessary, maintaining adjustments, and ensuring that after use, you clean away
any sawdust or wood chips, with a low pressure air line or brush, paying particular
attention to the motor air vents which should be kept clear at all times.
Should the motor not function normally, it is possible that it has become clogged
with saw dust, in which case, it will be necessary to disassemble the motor in order
to clean the various components. Contact your CLARKE dealer for advice.

extremely sharp, and careless handling could result in severe personal injury.
