!	WARNING	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.
