MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
• For safe and proper working, always keep
the machine and ventilation slots clean.
The retracting blade guard must always be able to
move freely and retract automatically. Therefore,
always keep the area around the retracting blade
guard clean. Remove dust and chips by blowing
out with compressed air or with a brush.
Saw blades that are not coated can be protected
against corrosion with a thin coat of acid-free oil.
Before use, the oil must be removed again, other-
wise the wood will become soiled.
Resin and glue residue on the saw blade pro-
duces poor cuts. Therefore, clean the saw blade
immediately after use.
If the machine should fail despite the care taken
in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair
should be carried out by an after-sales service
centre for SKIL power tools.
In all correspondence and spare parts order,
please always include the 10-digit article number
given on the type plate of the machine.
