Maintenance

Always unplug panel saw before performing any adjustments or maintenance. Do not disassemble or do any rewiring to the electrical system; contact a qualified electrician. Always follow proper lockout/tagout procedures during servicing.

Keep the machine in good working order by adopting a routine maintenance program.

Daily:

Use a mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the machine. Before using the saw each time, clean dust from the motor housing vents. Keep the handles clean, dry and free from oil or grease.

Examine the condition of guards, switches, and power cords. Check for misalignment, binding of moving parts, broken parts, loose screws and bolts, etc. If vibration or unusual noise occurs, turn off the saw and correct the problem immediately.

Do not use cleaning solvents such as gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, or ammonia, as these are harmful to plastic and some of the insulated parts on the machine. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Do not immerse the saw in liquid as this may create risk of injury, electric shock and damage to the saw.
