C. When the cut is complete, release the trigger safety release and paddle
switch and let the blade come to a complete stop. DO NOT REMOVE
the saw and blade from the workpiece while the blade is moving. This
could damage your cut (kerf), cause kickback and loss of control,
resulting in serious injury.
11. When the blade and saw are clear of and removed from the workpiece,
the lower blade guard and base will be able to automatically drop down
and the blade guard release lever will engage the upper blade guard,
locking the blade above the base.
AWARNING:
NEVER clamp or tie the blade guard release lever and
the lower blade guard and base in the raised position exposing the
blade. This would not allow the lower blade guard and base assembly
to function properly after the cutting operation, increasing the risk of
serious personal injury.
SAWDUST
REMOVAL
Your saw includes a 1-1/4-inch vac hose adapter
tube that attaches to the built-in dust extraction port
on the saw.
This adapter tube can be attached to a wet/dry vac
hose with a 1-1/4-inch hose adapter and then to a
wet/dry vac (all sold separately).
This will help remove dust, chips and cutting debris
away from the cutting area.
ROUTINE
MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance allows for long life and trouble-free operation. A
cleaning, lubrication and maintenance schedule should be maintained. As
a common preventative maintenance practice, follow these recommended
steps:
1. When work has been completed, clean the tool to allow smooth
functioning of the tool over time.
2. Use clean damp cloths to wipe the tool.
3. Check the state of all electrical cables.
4. Keep the motor air openings free from oil, grease and sawdust or
woodchips, and store tool in a dry place.
5. Be certain that all moving parts are well lubricated, particularly after
lengthy exposure to damp and/or dirty conditions.
