WARNING
!
● When cleaning the lower guard,
unplug the saw from the power
source receptacle to avoid
unexpected start-up.
● Do not use solvents on the guard.
They could make the plastic
"cloudy" and brittle.
SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate
under the worktable and base. This
could cause difficulty in the movement
of the worktable when setting up
a miter cut. Frequently blow out or
vacuum up the sawdust.
To empty the dust bag, remove the
sawdust bag from the dust collection
assembly from exhaust port, Open
zipper on underside of bag and empty
into waste container.
WARNING
!
When removing sawdust, wear
proper eye protection to keep debris
from blowing into eyes.
LUBRICATION (FIG. PP)
All the motor bearings in this tool are
lubricated with a sufficient amount of
high-grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal operating conditions;
therefore, no further lubrication is
required.
Lubricate the following as necessary:
Chop pivot: Apply light machine oil to
points indicated in illustration.
Central pivot of plastic guard: Use
light household oil (sewing machine
oil) on metal-to-metal or metal-to-
plastic guard contact areas as required
for smooth, quiet operation. Avoid
excessive oil, to which sawdust will
cling.
Link: (actuates lower guard movement)
If down chop motion is hard to start, oil
link at two screws (1).
