Shadow light system
For the best Shadow Light performance, per-
form the following maintenance regularly.
1. Carefully clean sawdust and debris from
shadow-light lens with a cotton swab.
2. DO NOT use solvents of any kind; they
may damage the lens.
3. Dust build-up can block the shadow light
and prevent it from accurately indicating
the line of cut.
4. Pitch and debris on the blade can interfere
with the shadow light accuracy and prevent
it from accurately indicating the line of cut.
5. For safety reason, follow the miter saw's
instruction manual to remove and install the blade. With blade removed from saw, clean
pitch and build-up from blade.
Care of blades
Blades become dull, even from cutting regular lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guiding it through the cut, chances are the blade is dull or coated
with wood pitch.
When cleaning gum and wood pitch from the blade, unplug the saw and remove the blade.
Remember, blades are designed to cut, so handle them carefully. Wipe the blade with
kerosene or a similar solvent to remove the gum and pitch. Unless you are experienced in
sharpening blades, we recommend you do not try.
Storage
Store the tool indoors in a place that is inaccessible to children. Keep away from corrosive
agents.
