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.
Periodically: |
| |
1. | The carriage is designed to move smoothly | Figure 22 |
| along the guide tubes. If the guide tubes |
|
| become caked with dust, the carriage may not |
|
| slide evenly or become stuck. Occasionally |
|
| clean the guide tubes with a damp cloth and |
|
| apply a dry lubricant such as a spray silicone. |
|
2. | Rotate the motor to horizontal position and |
|
| check the motor oil level at the plug. Figure 22 |
|
| shows the location of the oil plug. If low, fill |
|
| with SAE 70 or 80 gear oil to proper level. The |
|
| gear oil should be changed at least once a |
|
| year, or more frequently if the panel saw |
|
| receives heavy use. |
|
Every six months: |
| |
1. | Examine the motor brushes, and replace as |
|
| necessary. |
|
2. | Inspect and clean gears, spindles, bearings, |
|
| housing, etc. |
|
3. | Inspect switch, cord, armature, etc. |
|
4. | Test to ensure proper mechanical and |
|
| electrical performance. |
