For your own safety, turn the switch OFF and remove
the plug from the power source before maintaining
your Spin Saw.
When servicing, use only identical parts. Use of any
other part may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
DO NOT use solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by
their use. Use clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
Do not at any time allow brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. to
come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic.
INTERNAL CLEANING
It has been found that electric tools are subjected to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure when
they are used on fibreglass boats and sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and
grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to
electric tool parts such as bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. During any use on these materials it is
extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by
blowing out with a compressed air jet.
It is critical that you wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a dust mask while
blowing dust out of the Spin Saw with a compressed
air jet. Failure to take these safety precautions could
result in permanent eye or lung damage.
POWER CORD MAINTENANCE
To avoid shock or fire hazard, replace the cord
immediately if it is worn or damaged in any way.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this Spin Saw are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal conditions. Therefore, no further
Lubrication is required.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows
the correct size to use according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the
cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in
good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
Protect your extension cord from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp or wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools.
This circuit must not be less than 14 gauge wire and
should be protected with either a 15 Ampere time delayed
fuse or circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool to
the power source, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the power source is the same as indicated on
the nameplate. Running at lower voltage will damage the
motor.
Repair or replace damaged or worn extension cords
immediately.
Select the appropriate extension cord gauge and length
using the chart below.

Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so it will not get caught on the
workpiece, tools or any other obstructions while you
are working with the power tool.
