Register Online; Three-Year Limited Warranty - Porter-Cable PCE980 Instruction Manual

PORTER-CABLE tools are properly lubricated at the factory
and are ready for use. However, it is recommended that,
once a year, you take or send the tool to a certified service
center for a thorough cleaning and inspection.
Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with
clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk
of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye
protection when performing this.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of
the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic
materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened
only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid
get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
1. Turn off and remove battery from the saw.
2. Place a 5 gallon (19 liter) bucket under the drain plug.
Remove the drain plug by loosening the attached wing
nut and allow the water to empty into the bucket.
3. Slide the cutting cart off the rail system. Spray the cutting
cart with a hose or wipe with a grout sponge or rag.
4. Wipe the rails with a grout sponge or a rag. Spray
lubricants are not required on the guide rail or wheels.
5. Clean the water reservoir by wiping with a grout sponge.

WARNING: Do not spray with water. Some water
may reach the motor area.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.
Many household cleaners contain chemicals which
could seriously damage plastic. Also, do not use gasoline,
turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or
similar products. Try not to let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
