Dust Collection

Your table saw is equipped with a dust shroud and dust collection port. For best results, connect a vacuum to the port at the rear of the saw. If the saw is operated without a vacuum attached, most of the dust will be blown out of the dust collection port. However, some dust will fall inside the base. If the saw is used on a table or other surface without an opening on the bottom, clean out the base and accumulated saw dust after each cut. After extended use, the saw’s dust collection system may become clogged. To clear the dust collection system:

a)Unplug the saw.

b)Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit is accessible.

c)Open the dust access door shown in Fig. 24 by removing the two hair pin cotters or the central retaining screw on the dust cover. Clean out the excess dust, and re-secure the access door with the hair pin cotters or the central dust cover screw.

When cutting wet wood without a vacuum or when cutting with a dado blade, removing the dust access door may be helpful in preventing clogs.

Lubrication

1.All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and no additional lubrication is needed.

2.The height adjustment screw may require periodic cleaning and lubrication. if you have difficulty raising or lowering the blade:

a)Unplug the saw.

b)Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit is accessible.

c)Clean and lubricate the height adjustment screws threads on the underside of your saw with general purpose grease, as shown in Fig. 25.

Cleaning

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. Never use solvents to clean saw or guard components.

Important
