accidental start-up can cause injury.
lubrication
Self lubricating ball and roller bearings are used in
the tool and relubrication is not required. However,
it is recommended that, once a year, you take or
send the tool to a service center for a thorough
cleaning, inspection and lubrication of the gear
case.
Cleaning
WARNING:
Blow dirt and dust out of
the main housing and the guard area
with dry air as often as dirt is seen
collecting in and around the air vents.
Wear approved eye protection and
approved dust mask when performing
this procedure.
lowEr GuarD
The lower guard should always rotate and close
freely from a fully open to fully closed position.
Always check for correct operation before cutting
by fully opening the guard and letting it close. If the
guard closes slowly or not completely it will need
cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it
functions correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air
or a soft brush to remove all accumulated sawdust
or debris from the path of the guard and from
around the guard spring. Should this not correct the
problem, it will need to be serviced by an authorized
service center.
WARNING:
Never use solvents or
other harsh chemicals for cleaning the
non-metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the 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.
Blades
A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload
on the saw motor, excessive splintering and
increase the possibility of kickback. Change blades
when it is no longer easy to push the saw through
the cut, when the motor is straining, or when
excessive heat is built up in the blade. It is a good
practice to keep extra blades on hand so that
sharp blades are available for immediate use. Dull
blades can be sharpened in most areas.
Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with
kerosene, turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick
coated blades can be used in applications where
excessive build-up is encountered, such as pressure
treated and green lumber.
