cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
1. BefOre eacH uSe, inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware,
• misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• damaged cord/electrical wiring,
• cracked or broken parts, and
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. after uSe, wipe external surfaces
of the tool with clean cloth.
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
according to Tool Changing on page 10.
Dull blades will cause increased tear‑out
and ragged edges on the cuts.
adjusting fence accuracy
1. First unplug the tool.
2. Lower the blade assembly and lock it
in place using the Locking Pin.
3. Lay a carpenter's square on the table with one
edge along the blade and the other along the
Fence. Any inaccuracy should be visible. NOTE:
The square must contact the surface of the
blade, not the teeth, for an accurate reading.

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.
6. Observe the Dust Bag while using the saw.
Empty the sawdust into an appropriate
container when the bag is full.
7. Occasionally wipe or blow off sawdust that
accumulates on the saw. Saw dust on the Fence
can cause you to make inaccurate cuts.
8. Keep the Slides free of sawdust. Wipe or
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.
9. Occasionally lubricate the pivot point of the Table
as well as other moving parts with a dry lubricant.
