WALT CORDED POWER SUPPLY
WARNING:
Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts
of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a
cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never
immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

WARNING:
Blow debris out of the corded power supply receptacle (BF) with clean, dry
air. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection and
respiratory protection when performing this.
DUST DUCT CLEANING
Depending on your cutting environment, saw dust can clog the dust duct and may prevent
dust from flowing away from the cutting area properly. With the battery pack or corded power
supply removed and the saw head raised fully, low pressure air or a large diameter dowel rod
can be used to clear the dust out of the dust duct.

LED WORKLIGHT CLEANING
For the best worklight performance, perform the following maintenance regularly with the
battery or corded power supply removed.
• Carefully clean sawdust and debris from worklight lens with a cotton swab.
• DO NOT use solvents of any kind, they may damage the lens.
• Dust build-up can block the worklight and prevent it from accurately indicating the line of
cut.
• Follow miter saw’s instruction manual to remove and install blade.
• With blade removed from saw, clean pitch and build-up from blade. Pitch and debris can
interfere with the worklight and prevent it from accurately indicating the line of cut.
