Maintenance and Servicing Instructions
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must
be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Make sure that the Trigger is in the off-position and remove its Battery
Pack before performing any procedure in this section.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1.
BEFORE EACH USE,
inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• leaking, swollen, or cracked battery pack,
• loose hardware
• misalignment or binding of moving parts
• cracked or broken parts
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2.
AFTER USE,
wipe external surfaces of the tool with
clean cloth. Carefully clean the dust collection chute
and the area around the Lower Blade Guard. Check
that the Lower Blade Guard moves smoothly through
its entire range of movement, without sticking.
3. Periodically, wear ANSI-approved
safety goggles and NIOSH-approved
breathing protection and blow dust out of
the motor vents using dry compressed air.
4. Li-Ion BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED OR
DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.
Do not short, incinerate or open battery.
5. Disconnect battery pack and store battery pack,
charger, and tool in dry, indoor area out of
reach of children and away from metal objects
(i.e., paperclips, coins) to prevent shorting.
Checking and Calibrating the Fence
The Fence holds the workpiece in a fixed position
while the Table and/or the Saw Head Assembly
are adjusted in a miter or bevel angle.
To make accurate cuts, the Fence must be
perpendicular (at a 90º angle) to the Saw Blade.
1. Before beginning work, make a test cut on scrap
material with the Table set to the 0º miter position.
2. Check the cut with an accurate square.
You can also reverse the two pieces, hold
the cut ends together, and hold a good
straight edge along the side of the pieces.
3. If either test reveals that the cut is not a true 90º
angle, adjust the Fence before beginning work.
If Fence needs adjustment:
1. First remove battery.
2. Set the bevel and miter angles to the 0º position.
3. Lower the Saw Head Assembly and lock it
in place using the Head Lock-Down Pin.
4. Lay a carpenter’s square on the Table with one
edge along the Blade and the other along the
Fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible.
NOTE:
The square must contact the surface of the
blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading.
5. The Fence is held in place with four Fence Adjusting
Bolts. Loosen the Bolts slightly, and gently tap the
Fence into position using a soft mallet. Tighten
the Bolts and make another test cut. Repeat the
process until the Fence is adjusted accurately.
