1. BEFOrE EacH uSE, inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for loose
screws, misalignment or binding of moving
parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged
electrical wiring, and any other condition
that may affect its safe operation.
2. aFtEr uSE, clean external surfaces of
the tool with clean, moist cloth. To prevent
accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its
power supply after use. Clean, then store
the tool indoors out of children's reach.
3. If the blade has become dirty, use a
blade cleaner (not included) to clean it.
Dirty blades will bind more easily, and will more
often overheat and burn the wood as it cuts.
Overheated blades dull more easily.
4. If the Blade has become dull, replace it.
Dull blades will cause increased tear-out
and ragged edges on the cuts.

5. Occasionally clean the Slides, rotating
Table components and other moving parts.
Use a good quality dry lubricant
(not included) which will not attract dust.

Empty the sawdust into an appropriate

blow them off as required. Use a dry lubricant
or wax on the slides. Do not use an oil or
grease lubricant, as this will attract dust.
