Dust Collection (Fig. 43)
This table saw is equipped with a dustshroud
and dust collection port. For best results,
connect a vacuum to the port at the rear of
the saw and on the guard using a Y-connector.
The Y connector is available as an accessory
at additional cost. Refer to Accessories.
NOTICE: Care should be taken to position
hoses to not interfere with cutting operation.
After extended use, the saw's dust collection
system may become clogged. To clear the
dust collection system:
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit is accessible.
3. Open the dust access door (XX) shown in Figure 43 by pressing the the side clips (YY).
Clean out the excess dust, and re-secure by pushing the side clips completely into place.
Motor Overload and Power Loss Reset Switch
If power is interrupted by a circuit breaker trip, or power is lost, the saw contains a power loss
reset switch feature that will automatically reset to OFF position.
Circuit breaker overload is often the result of a dull blade. Change your blade on a regular
basis to avoid tripping your breaker. Disconnect the saw from power source and check your
blade before re-setting the circuit breaker and continuing to saw.
Lubrication (Fig. 44)
1. All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and
no additional lubrication is needed.
2. The height adjustment screw may require periodic cleaning and
lubrication. If you have difficulty raising or lowering the blade:
a) Unplug the saw.
b) Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit
is accessible.
c) Clean and lubricate the height adjustment screw threads (ZZ)
on the underside of this saw with general purpose grease.
Refer to Figure 44.
