Cleaning and Maintenance
1.
beFoRe eaCh uSe,
inspect the general condition
of the tool. Check for loose screws, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken
parts, damaged electrical wiring, and any other
condition that may affect its safe operation.
2.
aFteR uSe,
clean external surfaces of the
tool with a clean, moist cloth. To prevent
accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its
power supply after use. Clean, then store
the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
3. Observe the Dust Bag while using the saw.
Empty the sawdust into an appropriate
container when the bag is half full.
4. If the blade has become dirty, use a blade cleaner
(not included) to clean it. Dirty blades will bind more
easily, and will more often overheat and burn the
wood as it cuts. Overheated blades dull more easily.
5. If the Blade has become dull, replace it. Dull blades will
cause increased tear-out and ragged edges on the cuts.
6. Replace carbon brushes as needed.
7.
WaRnInG! If the supply cord of this
power tool is damaged, it must be replaced
only by a qualified service technician.
