Replacement Parts; Troubleshooting - Porter-Cable PC75TRS Instruction Manual

PROJECT TIPS
• Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor
while cutting.
• When cutting, always ensure that the shoe is held firmly against the workpiece and
the workpiece is secured from moving/deflecting. This will improve operator control
and minimize vibration.
• F or longer blade life, use bi-metal blades. These utilize a carbon steel back welded
to high speed steel teeth making the blade more flexible and less prone to breaking.
MAINTENANCE
UNPLUG SAW AND REMOVE ACCESSORy WHEN PERfORMING ANy
CLEANING OR OTHER MAINTENANCE. WHEN SERVICING USE ONLy
IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside
the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
• Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust etc.
• When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports cars, drywall etc., they are
subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure, as the fiberglass
chips and grindings and drywall dust are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutator, etc. During any use on fiberglass or drywall it is extremely important
that the tool be cleaned frequently by blowing with an air jet.
LUBRICATION
Porter Cable tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use. Tools
should be lubricated regularly every year depending on usage. (Tools used on heavy
duty jobs and tools exposed to heat may require more frequent lubrication.) This
lubrication should be attempted only by trained power tool repair person such as those
at Porter Cable service centers or in other qualified service personnel.
