To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear approved eye protection and respiratory
protection when performingthis.
Dust Duct Cleaning
Depending on your cutting environment, saw dust can clog the dust duct and may prevent dust
from flowing away from the cutting area properly. With the battery pack or corded power supply
removed and the saw head raised fully, low pressure air or a large diameter dowel rod can be
used to clear the dust out of the dustduct.
CUTLINE™ LED Worklight Cleaning
For the best worklight performance, perform the following maintenance regularly with the
battery or corded power supplyremoved.
• Carefully clean sawdust and debris from worklight lens with a cottonswab.
• DO NOT use solvents of any kind, they may damage thelens.
• Dust build-up can block the worklight and prevent it from accurately indicating the line
ofcut.
• Follow miter saw’s instruction manual to remove and installblade.
• With blade removed from saw, clean pitch and build-up from blade. Pitch and debris can
interfere with the worklight and prevent it from accurately indicating the line ofcut.
