commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.

 Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws for
tightness and condition. Make sure the throat plate is in
good condition and in position.
 Check the blade guard assembly.
 To maintain the table surfaces, fence, and rails, periodi-
cally apply paste wax to them and buff to provide smooth
functioning.
 Protect the blade by cleaning out sawdust from underneath
the table and in the blade teeth. Use a resin solvent on
the blade teeth.
 Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp cloth. DO
NOT use any aerosol or petroleum solvents.
