SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE
For optimum performance from this tool,
routinely check the condition of the following
items and repair or replace as necessary.
•
Loose bolts
•
Damaged bits
•
Worn or damaged wires
•
Any other unsafe condition
Cleaning
Use a brush and a shop vacuum to remove
wood chips and other debris from the tool,
particularly from around the blade slot on
the sliding base. Never blow off the tool
with compressed air, as this could force
wood chips deeper into the motor vents.
Use a clean cloth to wipe away any dust
remaining after each operation.
Note:
DO NOT use caustic cleaners on
plastic parts. If dry cleaning is insufficient,
a mild detergent on a damp cloth is recom-
mended. Keep water away from tool at all
times.
Lubrication
Periodically lubricate all moving parts with
a light machine oil as needed. Place a drop
of oil on the guide rails on both sides of the
sliding base (see
Figure 27), then slide the
base back and forth, working the oil across
the rails. Use a clean rag to wipe off any
excess oil, which can collect sawdust or
stain the workpiece.
