Connecting to Vacuum Cleaner
Always make sure the vacuum cleaner that
you use is designed for extraction of masonry
dust.
Mount the vacuum hose adapter onto the dust
port, located on the outer end of the auxiliary
handle. Tighten the wing nut on the adapter
to secure it in place. The vacuum hose adapt-
er allows you to connect 1-7/8”, 2-1/2”, and
3.5 cm.
Make sure the vacuum hose has freedom to
move and has enough length to complete the
cut. If needed, have another person move the
vacuum cleaner and the hose while you are
making the cut.
Before starting a cut make sure that the air-
flow through the upper guard and auxiliary
handle is unobstructed.
NOTE:
For OSHA Silica dust compliance
information see www.skilsaw.com/OSHA
Do not use vacuum
cleaner along with the
water supply on.

Maintenance
To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power supply
before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
Cleaning
Cleaning After Dry Cutting
The tool may be cleaned most effectively by
using a HEPA filtered vacuum. If necessary,
use damp towel or rag to wipe the tool off. Let
dry before dry cutting again.
Always wear
safety goggles and respiratory protection
when cleaning tools.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not at tempt to clean by inserting pointed ob-
jects through openings.
Cleaning After Wet Cutting
The tool may be cleaned most effectively
by rinsing affected parts with water from the
garden hose immediately after cutting ses-
sion.
Always wear safety goggles.
Failure
to clean the tool after cutting or allowing the
slurry to dry will result in decreased perfor-
mance of the tool.
Avoid spraying water directly into ventila-
tion openings! Make sure the tool is dry
before reconnecting it to power supply.
Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage
plastic parts.
Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlo rinated cleaning sol-
vents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.
Replacing Rollers
Disconnect the plug
from the power source
before making any assembly, adjustments
or changing accessories.
Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool accidentally.
If the rollers require replacement simply re-
move the bolts holding the rollers, using the
1/2” hex of the wrench. Replace the rollers and
tighten the bolts back in place.
Use only SKILSAW authorized replace-
ment parts.
