KEEP MACHINE CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. For best performance use a shop vacuum or blower to keep saw blade
area, the dust collection system, the guarding system and rails free of saw dust and other debris. All plastic parts should be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection while using compressed air.
MAINTENANCE REMINDERS
Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing and respiratory protection while using compressed air. Gloves are recommended
when changing blades. Specific areas which require regular maintenance include:
RIVING KNIFE CLAMP PLATE: Keep this area free of dust and debris buildup. Blow out area regularly with compressed air.
NOTE: If the riving knife clamp can't move freely, have the saw serviced by authorized service center personnel.
WORM GEARS: Keep the bevel gears free of dust and debris buildup. Blow out area regularly with compressed air. Use a lithium-
based multipurpose grease as needed on these gears.
CLEAN SAWDUST BUILDUP OUT OF CABINET PERIODICALLY: NOTE: Debris can also be removed from the saw from below
the throat plate, inside the dust port.

check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in your power supply line. If the saw still does not start, call Company's Customer
Care Center at 1-800-223-7278.
