Maintenance and Inspection
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION:
WARNING: TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR PERSONAL INJURY, ALWAYS CONFIRM THAT THE
TRIGGER SWITCH IS TURNED OFF AND THE POWER PLUG HAS BEEN
DISCONNECTED FROM THE RECEPTACLE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE OR INSPECTION OF THIS TOOL.
1. Inspecting the saw blade:
Always replace the saw blade immediately upon the first sign of deterioration or damage. A damaged saw
blade can cause personal injury and a worn saw blade can cause ineffective operation and possible
overload to the motor.
CAUTION: NEVER USE A DULL SAW BLADE. WHEN A SAW BLADE IS DULL, ITS RESISTANCE TO
THE HAND PRESSURE APPLIED BY THE TOOL HANDLE TENDS TO INCREASE, MAKING IT
UNSAFE TO OPERATE THE POWER TOOL.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws:
Regularly inspect each component of the power tool for looseness. Retighten mounting screws on any
loose part.
WARNING: TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY, NEVER OPERATE THE POWER TOOL IF ANY
COMPONENTS ARE LOOSE.
3. Inspecting the safety cover for proper operation:
Before each use of the tool, test the safety cover to assure that they are in good condition and that
they move smoothly. Never use the tool unless the safety cover operates properly and unless they are in
good mechanical condition.
STORAGE:
After operation of the tool has been completed, check that the following has been performed:
a. Trigger switch is in the OFF position.
b. Power plug has been removed from the receptacle.
c. Stored in a secure place.
When the tool is not in use, keep it stored in a dry place out of the reach of children.
SERVICE AND REPAIRS:
All quality power tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts because of wear form normal
use. To assure that only authorized replacement parts will be used and that the double insulation system will
be protected, all service (other than routine maintenance) must be performed by an AUTHORIZED JOHN
DEERE DEALER.
