Certain cleaning agents ! CAUTION and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,

carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.

CARE OF BLADES

Blades become dull even from cutting regular lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw forward to cut instead of just guiding it

through the cut, chances are the blade is dull or coated with wood pitch.

When cleaning gum and wood pitch from blade, unplug the saw and remove the blade. Remember, blades are designed to cut, so handle carefully. Wipe the blade with kerosene or similar solvent to remove the gum and pitch. Unless you are experienced in sharpening blades, we recommend you do not try.

Accessories

If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors that is capable

of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent

excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must use 3- wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.

NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
