Maintenance

Routine Maintenance

Any maintenance or repair work that requires opening of the motor or gear housing should be carried out only by an authorized Customer Service Center (name supplied by your dealer)! Maintenance or repair work carried out by an unauthorized person can lead to improper connection of electrical wires or other components, which can result in injury.

To prevent injury or electrocution, always unplug the tool from the power supply outlet before performing any maintenance or repair work on the tool!

Do not use compressed air to clean the motor housing of the tool, as you could inject foreign objects into the motor through the ventilation openings. Compressed air may be used on other components, but personal safety protection should be employed (hearing, vision, and respiratory).

Certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastic parts. Some of these include, but are not limited too: Gasoline, Acetone, Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Carbonyl Chloride, cleaning solutions containing Chlorine, Ammonia, and household cleaners containing Ammonia.

To ensure proper cooling of the tool and motor, the cooling vents in the motor housing must always be kept clear and clean.

Keep the Saw Clean

Dust and debris from some materials can be extremely abrasive and cause components within the saw to wear prematurely. It is important to keep moving parts cleared of abrasive dusts.

►As a general rule, keep the saw clean of all dust and debris. Even soft-wood dust can be abrasive over time.

►Examine all moving parts for dust and debris.

►Keep the bevel hinges clean of dust using compressed air or cotton swabs. If the hinges wear due to abrasive particles, the saw will not perform optimally.

►Keep the blade area and dust extraction port clean of debris. Debris can cause wear and reduce the effectiveness of the dust extraction system.

Keep the Sawblades Sharp

Using a dull sawblade can be extremely dangerous and provide poor cut quality.

►Never attempt to sharpen a sawblade manually. Special equipment is necessary to properly sharpen a circular sawblade. An improperly sharpened sawblade can injure the operator, destroy the saw, and damage the workpiece.

►The sawblades should be sharpened regularly, and only by a qualified sharpening service.

►Improper grinding of the carbide teeth of a sawblade can result in serious injury to the saw operator.

Adjust and Inspect the Saw

To ensure the saw is in proper working order, periodically inspect the operation of the saw and ensure it is properly adjusted.

►Observe the function of the saw during normal operation.

►Unusual sounds are indicative of pending problems.

►A reduction in the cut quality indicates the saw is either improperly adjusted or not functioning properly.

►A reduction in cutting power or speed may indicate a dull blade or a motor problem.

►If any of the safety devices on the saw are inoperable or disabled, immediately stop using the saw and have it serviced.

►Periodically inspect the guide rail gibs cams for wear and proper adjustment. If the cams are worn or misadjusted, the saw will not cut straight.
