MAINTENANCE
 To prevent accidents, always unplug the saw from the power source before cleaning or performing
any maintenance the saw may be cleaned most effectively using compressed air. Always wear safety
goggles when using compressed air. If compressed air is not available, use a brush to remove dust and
chips from the saw.
 Motor ventilation vents and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not
attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
 Never use any caustic agents to clean plastic parts. Such as: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household cleaners containing ammonia. Do not use any
of these to clean the saw.
 Have an authorized service center examine and/or replace the worn carbon brushes in the event of
excessive parking.
 Blades become dull even when cutting regular lumber, a sure sign of a dull blade is the need to force
the saw forward instead of guiding it while making a cut. Take the blade to a service center for
sharpening.
 Keep the machine clean all the time.
 If you discover any damage, consult the exploded drawing and parts list to determine exactly which
replacement part you need to order from our customer service department.
 Clean the housing only with a damp cloth. Do not use any solvents! Dry thoroughly afterwards.
 If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a similar cord available
through the service organization or a qualified authoritative technician.
 For safety reasons, the machine automatically switches off if the carbon brushes are so worn out that
they no longer have contact with the motor. In that case, the carbon brushes must be replaced by a pair
similar carbon brush available through the after-sales service organization or qualified professional
person.
CAUTION: The brushes must always be replaced in pairs.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before removing any covers.
