Service
WARNING:
Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may
result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious
hazard.
We recommend that all tool service be performed by an authorised service centre.
General Maintenance
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any
other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.
Periodically inspect the entire product for damaged, missing, or loose parts such as screws,
nuts, bolts, caps, etc. Securely tighten all fasteners and caps and do not operate this
product until all missing or damaged parts are replaced. Please contact customer service or
an authorized service center for assistance.
Cleaning
a) Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastic parts are susceptible
to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
b) The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear
safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air. The guard system,
ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter.
Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
Storage
Store the tool indoors in a place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive agents.
Care of Blades
Blades become dull even from cutting regular lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guiding it through the cut, chances are the blade is dull or
coated with wood pitch.
When cleaning gum and wood pitch from blade, detach the battery pack and remove the blade.
Remember, blades are designed to cut, so handle them carefully. Wipe the blade with
kerosene or similar solvent to remove the gum and pitch.
Unless you are experienced in sharpening blades, we recommend that you do not try.
Replace the dull blade.
