Service And Repairs - Porter-Cable PCE360 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.
• For 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.
