for correct saw blade.
BOWED MATERIAL
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown in Figure 22 and never like that
shown in 22A. Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the blade near the
completion of the cut.
CUTTING PLASTIC PIPE OR OTHER ROUND MATERIAL
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be cut just like wood and
CLAMPED
OR HELD FIRMLY TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING
. This is extremely
important when making angle cuts.
CUTTING LARGE MATERIAL
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too large to fit beneath the blade
guard. If this occurs, simply place your right thumb on the upper side of the lower blade
guard and roll the guard up just enough to clear the workpiece, as shown in Figure 18.
Release the lower blade guard before turning the saw on and beginning the cut. Avoid doing
this as much as possible, but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the bigger
cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING
THIS SAW.

MAINTENANCE
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic
guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certain chemicals.
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and need no further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER the base and the
rotary table. Even though slots are provided to allow debris to pass through, some dust
will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years of use. To replace the brushes refer
to
Brushes
or return the tool to the nearest service center for repair.
Repairs
The charger and battery pack are not serviceable.
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (including
brush inspection and replacement) should be performed by authorized service centers or
other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
