GENERAL MAINTENANCE
,_ WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other
part may create a hazard or cause product damage.
,_ WARNING: To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible serious personal injury,
turn off the saw, remove the switch key, and unplug the saw before working on the table saw.
•Remove sawdust from the rails, top surface, and inside of saw frequently.
•Clean plastic parts with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any strong solvents.
,_ WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
oils, etc. contact plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
•Periodically clean the table, rails, and rip fence with gum and pitch remover. Do not allow pitch to accumulate on the saw.
•Apply a thin coat of paste wax to the table top so the wood slides easily while cutting.
•Regularly check all nuts, bolts, screws, and belts for tightness and condition. Make sure the throat plate is in good condition.
MOTOR / ELECTRICAL
•Frequently vacuum or blow out any sawdust from the motor.
,_ WARNING: If the power cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way, have it replaced immedi-
ately by a qualified service technician at a Sears store or repair center. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
,_ WARNING: To avoid fire or electrocution, reassemble electric parts with only identical
Craftsman replacement parts. Reassemble exactly as originally assembled.
