Do not allow sawdust to accumulate inside the saw. Fre- 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 solvents, ammonia and household detergents which contain am monia. 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 al ways sharp. To sharpen: remove anti-kickback pawls from the saw and sharpen the teeth using a small file (Smooth Cut).

All repairs, electrical or mechanical, should be attempted only by trained repairmen. Contact the nearest Factory Service Center or

Authorized Service Station or other competent repair service. Use only identical replacement parts, any other may create a hazard.
