5. Secure the material before cutting. Cut slowly through
the material. Failure to clamp securely or cut slowly could
result in the material coming loose and causing injury.
After several cuts are made at various miter angles other
than 0º, the platform may weaken and not properly support
the work. Install a new, unused platform to the saw after
presetting the desired miter angle.
CAUTION: Continued use of a platform with several kerfs
may cause loss of material control and possible injury.
Removing and Replacing Belt
The belt is designed to last the life of the tool. However,
abuse of the tool could cause the belt to fail.
If the blade does not turn when the motor is running, the
belt has failed. To inspect or replace the belt, remove the belt
cover screws. Remove the belt cover. Inspect the ribs of the
belt for wear or failure. Check belt tension by squeezing the
belt as shown in Figure 23. The belt halves should almost
touch when squeezing firmly with the thumb and index finger.
To adjust the tension, loosen, but do not remove, the four
Phillips head screws shown. Then rotate the set screw on
the top of the motor plate casting until the proper tension is
achieved. Tighten the four screws securely and replace the
belt cover.
NOTE: Over tightening the belt will cause premature motor
failure.
MAINTENANCE
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or
aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic guard. The polycarbonate
material used in the guard is subject to attack by certain
chemicals.
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and
need no further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around
AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even though
slots are provided to allow debris to pass through, some
dust will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years
of use. If they ever need replacement follow the
instructions under Brushes or return the tool to the
nearest service center for repair.
