Maintenance And

Servicing

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.

WARNING To prevent serious injury

from accidental operation:

Turn the Power Switch of the tool to its “OFF” position and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

To prevent serious injury from tool failure: Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and

Lubrication

1.BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.

2.After Use, clean external surfaces of the tool with clean, moist cloth.

To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.

3.If the blade has become dirty, use a blade cleaner (not included) to clean it. Dirty blades will bind more easily, and will more often overheat and burn the wood as it cuts. Overheated blades dull more easily.

4.If the Blade has become dull, replace it. Dull blades will cause increased tear- out and ragged edges on the cuts.

5.Occasionally clean the Slides, rotating Table components and other moving parts. Use a good quality dry lubricant (not included) which will not attract dust.
