Cleaning

1.Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.

2.Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a rag.

3.Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.

4.If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.

5.Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must never come into contact with the tool.

General inspection
