TOOL LUBRICATION

Your SKILSAW tool has been properly
lubricated and is ready to use. However it is
recommended that the gears be relubricated
only with SKILSAW lubricants: No.
SPTH5009-SO (8 oz.tube).
Always check the oil level before using the
saw. To check and add oil: Remove the
battery pack from the circular saw and place
the saw's foot on a horizontal surface with the
tool set to maximum depth of cut. Remove
the oil plug/lock button assembly with the
same wrench used to remove the saw blade.
The oil level should never be below the
bottom threads in the housing. When adding
oil, fill until the oil reaches the bottom threads
of the housing. Do not over fill. Replace the
oil plug/lock button assembly when finished
(Fig. 18).
NOTICE: If the oil is dirty or thick, replace
the oil plug/lock button assembly and run the
saw for one minute to warm up the oil. Then
remove the oil plug/lock button assembly
and turn the saw upside down to remove all
the oil. Add fresh SKILSAW lubricant. With a
new saw, change the the oil after the first ten
hours of use.
BEARINGS
Bearings that become noisy (due to heavy
load or cutting very abrasive material
cutting) should be replaced at once to avoid
overheating or motor failure.
CLEANING
The tool may be cleaned most effectively
with compressed dry air. Always wear
safety goggles when cleaning tools with
compressed air.

Oil Level Instructions
The guard system, ventilation openings, and
switch levers must be kept clean and free
of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by
inserting pointed objects through openings.
CAUTION
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia, and household
detergents that contain ammonia.
Blades become dull, even from cutting
regular lumber. If you find yourself forcing the
saw forward to cut instead of just guiding it
through the cut, it is likely that the blade is
dull or coated with wood pitch.
Before cleaning gum and wood pitch from
blade, detach the battery pack and remove the
blade.
Remember, blades are designed to cut, so
handle them carefully. Wear gloves and wipe
the blade with kerosene or similar solvent to
remove the gum and pitch.
Unless you are experienced in sharpening
blades, we recommend that you do not try to
sharpen them.
