Care of Blades

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, chances are the blade is dull or
coated with wood pitch.
When cleaning gum and wood pitch from blade, unplug the
saw and remove the blade. Remember, blades are designed
to cut, so handle carefully. Wipe the blade with kerosene or
similar solvent to remove the gum and pitch. Unless you are
experienced in sharpening blades, we recommend you do not
try.

Tool lubrication

Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use.
It is recommended that tools with gears be regreased with a
special gear lubricant at every brush change.
The Sliding Fence should slide smoothly left and right,
lubricate if needed.
Bearings
All bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount
of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal
operating conditions. No further lubrication is required.
