MAINTENANCE

n Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, screws, and
belts for tightness and condition. Make sure the throat

periodically apply paste wax to them and buff to
provide smooth functioning. To prevent work from
slipping during cutting operation, Do not wax the
working face of the miter fence.
n Protect the blade by cleaning out saw dust from
underneath the table and in the blade teeth. Use a
resin solvent on the blade teeth.
