GENERAL MAINTENANCE
For your own safety, turn
the switch OFF and remove the safety
key. Remove the plug from the power
source outlet before maintaining or
lubricating your saw.
• Clean out all sawdust that has
accumulated inside the saw housing
and the motor.
• Polish the saw table with an automotive
wax to keep it clean and to make it easier
to slide the workpiece.
• Clean cutting blades with pitch and
gum remover.
• A worn, cut, or damaged power cord
should be replaced immediately.
All electrical or mechanical
repairs should be attempted only by
a trained repair technician. Contact
customer service for assistance. Use
only identical replacement parts. Any
other parts may create a hazard.
• Use liquid dishwashing detergent and
water to clean all plastic parts.
NOTE: Certain cleaning chemicals can
damage plastic parts.
• Avoid use of cleaning chemicals or
solvents, ammonia and household
detergents containing ammonia.
BLADE RAISING AND TILTING
MECHANISM (FIGURE dd, ee)
After every five hours of operation, the
blade raising mechanism and tilting
mechanism should be checked for
looseness, binding, or any other
abnormalities.
• With the saw disconnected from the
power source, turn the saw upside
down, and pull up and push down on
the motor unit.
• Observe any movement of the motor
mounting mechanism.
• Loosen or tighten the four hex
screws (1) by hex wrench for smooth
operation. Adjust only 1/8 turn at a time.
(Figure dd)
NOTE:
Do not adjust the screw more
than 1/2 turn in total as this may
damage the mechanism.
