MAINTENANCE
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic guard. The polycar- bonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certain chemicals.
1.All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and need no further maintenance.
2.Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even though slots are provided to allow debris to pass through, some dust will accumulate.
3.The brushes are designed to give you several years of use. To replace the brushes refer to Brushes on page 8 or return the tool to the nearest service center for repair. A list of service center locations is packed with your tool.
