KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts
should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic
parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
FAILURE TO START
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are
making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit
breakers in the line.
LUBRICATION
Although all PORTER-CABLE tools have been thoroughly lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant at the time of manufacture, it is
recommended that the oil level in the gear chamber be checked before using your

3.
Stand the saw on the front pulley housing and start motor.
4.
With the motor running, observe whether the lubricant is being carried over
the top of the worm gear teeth (B) Fig. 7. If not, stop the motor and add a
small amount of lubricant furnished with your saw.
5.
Repeat Step 4 until the lubricant covers the top of the worm gear teeth while
the motor is running. DO NOT OVERFILL GEAR CHAMBER. If you do, the
pressure created by the pumping action of the gears will force lubricant thru
the seals into the motor chamber and may cause damage to the motor as
well as gear failure.
6.
Install oil plug and gasket.

Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed
air.
Remove the band saw blade to prevent accidental
