Maintenance

Always unplug panel saw

before performing any adjustments or
maintenance. Do not disassemble or do any
rewiring to the electrical system; contact a
qualified electrician. Always follow proper
lockout/tagout procedures during servicing.

Keep the machine in good working order by
adopting a routine maintenance program.

Daily:

Use a mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the
machine. Before using the saw each time, clean
dust from the motor housing vents. Keep the
handles clean, dry and free from oil or grease.

Examine the condition of guards, switches, and
power cords. Check for misalignment, binding of
moving parts, broken parts, loose screws and
bolts, etc. If vibration or unusual noise occurs,
turn off the saw and correct the problem
immediately.

Do not use cleaning solvents

such as gasoline, turpentine, lacquer
thinner, paint thinner, or ammonia, as these
are harmful to plastic and some of the
insulated parts on the machine. Never use
flammable or combustible solvents around
tools.

Do not immerse the saw in

liquid as this may create risk of injury,
electric shock and damage to the saw.
