WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, TURN SWITCH
"OFF" AND REMOVE PLUG FROM POWER SOURCE
OUTLET BEFORE MAINTAINING OR LUBRICATING
YOUR SAW.
Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw.
Frequently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside
the saw cabinet and the motor.
Frequently clean your cutting tools with Craftsman Gum
and Pitch remover.
A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the table will
help to keep the surface clean and allow workpieces to slide
more freely. Treat unplated and unpainted steel parts and
surfaces with Sears "Stop Rust."
If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way,
have it replaced immediately.
Make sure the teeth of the ANTI-KICKBACK pawls are
always sharp. To sharpen;
1. Remove blade guard.
2. Rotate pawl toward rear of spreader so that teeth are
above top of spreader.
3. Hold spreader with left hand and place pawl over corner
of workbench.
4. Using a small round file (Smooth Cut) sharpen the
teeth.
