MAINTENANCE
Your power tool has been designed to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. Continuous
satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool care and
regularcleaning.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect tool from power
source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can causeinjury.
• Ensure that the dust extraction hose in use is suitable for
the application and material being cut. Ensure proper
hosemanagement.
• A splitter accessory is available to connect both ports to a
single dustextractor.
• Be aware that man-made materials such as chipboard
or MDF produce more dust particles during cutting than
naturaltimber.

the air vents. Wear approved eye protection and approved
dust mask when performing thisprocedure.


The blade guard assembly
11
and throat plate must be placed
in position before operating thesaw.
Before use, carefully inspect upper and lower blade guards as
well as the dust extraction tube to determine that it will operate
properly. Ensure that chips, dust or work piece particles cannot
lead to blockage of one of thefunctions.
In case workpiece fragments are jammed between saw blade
and guards, disconnect the machine from the power supply
and follow the instructions given in section Mounting the
Saw Blade. Remove the jammed parts and reassemble the
sawblade.
Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean the housing
