MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regular cleaning.

Cleaning

WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of the main housing
with dry air as often as dirt is seen collecting in and around
the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing this procedure.

for cleaning the non‑metallic parts of the tool. These
chemicals may weaken the materials used in these parts.
Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap.

part of the tool into a liquid.
Lower Guard
The lower guard should always rotate and close freely from
a fully open to fully closed position. Always check for correct
operation before cutting by fully opening the guard and letting
it close. If the guard closes slowly or not completely, it will
need cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it functions
correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air or a soft brush to
remove all accumulated sawdust or debris from the path of
the guard and from around the guard spring. Should this not
