• Always use blades with correct size and shape (diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing loss of control. • Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers or bolts.

3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals. 4. If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent. 5. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
