For your own safety, turn all switchs

"OFF" and remove plug from power
source outlet before maintaining or lubricating your saw.
Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw. Fre-
quently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the
saw cabinet and the motor. Clean your cutting tools with a
Gum and Pitch Remover.
The cord and the tool should be wiped with a dry clean
cloth to prevent deterioration from oil and grease.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents

can damage plastic parts. Some of these
are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents which contain
ammonia. Avoiding use of these and other types of cleaning
agents will minimize the possibility of damage.
A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the table will help
to keep the surface clean and allow workpieces to slide
more freely.

Turn switch "off" and always remove plug from the power source before trouble shooting.
