Do not allow saw dust to accumulate inside the saw. Frequently blow out any dust that may
accumulate inside the saw cabinet, motor or blade-elevation gears. Clean your cutting tools (i.e.
blades) with a Gum and Pitch Remover. Periodically clean the guard. Wipe it or blow it clean
with compressed air. The cord and the tool should be wiped with a dry clean cloth to prevent
deterioration from oil and grease.
WARNING
Certain cleaning agents and solvents can damage plastic parts . Some
of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia, and household detergents which contain ammonia.Avoiding use of these and other
types of cleaning agents will minimize the possibility of damage.A coat of automobile-type wax
applied to the table will help to keep the surface clean and allow workpieces to slide more
freely.If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
