CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
• When servicing, use only identical Kobalt replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
• ALWAYS wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI 787.I during product
operation. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
• DO NOT at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come
in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in
serious personal injury.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various
types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust,
oil, grease, etc.
Lubrication
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life
of the unit under normal operating conditions. After extended use, clean the rails so the table will slide
smoothly.
Cleaning the Saw
• Unplug the saw.
• Using a small brush and/or water, clean each piece thoroughly removing any trapped debris.
• Remove the drain plug and empty waste water into a bucket. DO NOT allow the water to splash onto
the ground or around the machine.
• Unlock the lock pin (underside of the rear extension table) and remove the rear extension table.
• Turn sliding table lock knob to vertical position to unlock the sliding table.
• Grasp the sliding table firmly before pulling the table to the front and off the tool.
• Once the table has been removed, rinse the rails and water tray frame.
• Replace the drain plug. Tighten securely.
• Dry off the tool.
Cleaning the Rails
During use, the rails will become dirty, preventing the table rollers from sliding smoothly. It is important
to clean the rails often.
Cleaning the Submersible Pump
• Unplug saw and pump before handing or cleaning the pump.
• Remove the front cover.
• Using a small brush and/or water, clean any debris or trash that is trapped on the side of the pump.
Note: To maintain efficiency and extend the life of the pump, check intake screen before use to make sure
it is clean.
