Cutting Large Sheets
1. Large sheet or boards require support to prevent bends or sags. If you attempt to
cut without leveling and properly supporting the work piece, the blade will tend to
bind, causing kickback.
2. Support the panel or board close to the cut. Be sure to set the blade adjustment so
that you can cut through the material without cutting into the table or workbench.
Suggestion: use two by fours to support the board or panel to be cut. If the piece is
too large for the workbench, use the floor with the two-by fours supporting the
wood.
Maintenance
1. To prevent accidents, always unplug the saw from the power source before
cleaning or performing any maintenance the saw may be cleaned most effectively
using compressed air. Always wear safety goggles when using compressed air. If
compressed air is not available, use a brush to remove dust and chips from the
saw.
2. Motor ventilation vents and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign
matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
3. Never use any caustic agents to clean plastic parts. Such as: gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household cleaners
containing ammonia. Do not use any of these to clean the saw.
4. Have an authorized service center examine and/or replace the worn carbon
brushes in the event of excessive parking.
5. Blades become dull even when cutting regular lumber, a sure sign of a dull blade is
the need to force the saw forward instead of guiding it while making a cut. Take
the blade to a service center for sharpening.
6. Keep the machine clean all the time.
7. If you discover any damage, consult the exploded drawing and parts list to
determine exactly which replacement part you need to order from our customer
service department.

afterwards .In order to maintain battery capacity ,we recommend the battery to be
completely discharged every one month and fully recharged again .Only store with
a fully charged battery and top-up the charge from time to time if stored for a long
time.
