CLEANING THE MITER SAW

! WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles
or safety glasses with side shields during all
cutting operations. It is critical that you wear
safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields and a dust mask while blowing dust
out of the miter saw with an air jet. Failure to
take these safety precautions could result in
permanent eye or lung damage.
Empty the dust bag at regular intervals. If the
dust bag gets too full, it will not be effective at
collecting sawdust from the blade.
Periodically use an air jet or vacuum to remove
the accumulated sawdust from around and
under the miter saw. Pay particular attention to
removing the sawdust around and under the
lower blade guard. Accumulated sawdust may
interfere with proper operation of the automatic
lower blade guard.
When cleaning the miter saw, carefully remove
sawdust from around the laser and worklight
module with a soft dry brush or cloth. Be careful
not to change the alignment of the laser module
as this will cause incorrect cuts and require
realignment of the laser module.
DO NOT use solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may
be damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.
