WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn the Power Switch of the tool to its “OFF” position and unplug the tool from its electrical
outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
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 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 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. 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.
4. If the Blade has become dull, replace it.
Dull blades will cause increased tear-out
and ragged edges on the cuts.
5. Occasionally clean the Slides, rotating
Table components and other moving parts.
Use a good quality dry lubricant
(not included) which will not attract dust.
6. Observe the Dust Bag while using the saw.
Empty the sawdust into an appropriate
container when the bag is full.
7. Occasionally wipe or blow off sawdust that
accumulates on the saw. Saw dust on the Fence
can cause you to make inaccurate cuts.
8. Keep the Slides free of sawdust. Wipe or
blow them off as required. Use a dry lubricant
or wax on the slides. Do not use an oil or
grease lubricant, as this will attract dust.
9. Occasionally lubricate the pivot point of the Table
as well as other moving parts with a dry lubricant.
10. WARNING! If the supply cord of this
power tool is damaged, it must be replaced
only by a qualified service technician.
