MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
•
Clean out the upper and lower guards to ensure
there is no accumulated sawdust which may
impede the operation of the lower guarding
system.
A dirty guarding system may limit the
proper operation which could result in serious
personal injury. The most effective way to
accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air.
If
the dust is being blown out of the guards be
sure the proper eye and breathing protection is
used.
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like.
Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Inspecting blade
•
Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before and after each use. Replace a cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
•
Continuing to use a dull blade may cause a dangerous
kickback and/or motor overload. Replace with a new
blade as soon as it no longer cuts effectively.
•
Blades for metal cutter cannot be re-sharpened.
