Maintenance
For your own safety, turn switch ―OFF‖ and remove plug from power source outlet before
maintaining or lubricating your saw.
Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw. Frequently 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.
Warning: Certain cleaning agents and solvents can damage plastic parts. Some of these are:
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
detergents which contain ammonia. Avoiding use of these and other types of cleaning agents
will minimize the possibility of damage.
A coat of automobile-type wax applied to the table will help to keep the surface clean and allow
workpieces to slide more freely.
If the power cord is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
Make sure the teeth of the ANTI-KICKBACK pawls are always
sharp. To sharpen:
1. Remove blade guard.
2. Rotate pawl toward rear of spreader so that teeth are above
top of spreader.
3. Hold spreader with left hand and place pawl over corner of
workbench (Figure 24).
4. Using a small round file (Smooth Cut) sharpen the teeth.
Warning: All repairs, electrical or mechanical, should
be attempted only by trained repairmen. Contact the
Service Center or Authorized Service Station. Use only
identical replacement parts, any other may create a hazard.
Lubrication
All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and require no additional lubrication.
Lubricate all mechanical parts where a pivot or threaded rod is present, with graphite or silicone.
These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust.
Care of Blades
Blades become dull even from cutting regular lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw forward to
cut instead of just guiding it through the cut, chances are the blade is dull or coated with wood pitch.
