quently blow out any dust that may accumulate inside the
saw cabinet and the motor. Clean your cutting tools with a
Gum and Pitch Remover.
The cord and the tool should be wiped with a dry clean
cloth to prevent deterioration from oil and grease.
Certain cleaning agents and solvents
can damage plastic parts. Some of these
are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
