ERBAUER 216MM (8”) SLIDING MITRE SAW
Lower blade guard
Do not use the saw without the lower blade
guard. The lower blade guard is attached to
the saw for your protection. Should the lower
guard become damaged, do not use the saw
until the damaged guard has been replaced.
Develop a regular check to make sure the
lower guard is working properly. Clean the
lower guard of any dust or buildup with a damp
cloth.
Warning: Do not use solvents on the
guard. They could make the plastic “cloudy”
and brittle.
Warning: When cleaning the lower
guard, unplug the saw from the power
source receptacle to avoid unexpected startup.
Sawdust
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under
the work table and base. This could cause
diffi culty in the movement of the worktable
when setting up a mitre cut. Frequently blow
out or vacuum up the sawdust.
Warning: If blowing sawdust, wear
proper eye protection to keep debris from
blowing into eyes.
Lubrication
All the motor bearings in this tool are lubricated
with a suffi cient amount of high grade lubricant
for the life of the unit under normal operating
conditions; therefore, no further bearing
lubrication is required. (See fi g. 44)
Lubricate the following as necessary:
Chop pivot: Apply light machine oil to points
indicated in illustration.
Central pivot of plastic guard: Use light
household oil (sewing machine oil ) on metal-
to-metal or metal-to-plastic guard contact
areas as required for smooth, quiet operation.
Avoid excessive oil, to which sawdust will
cling.
Guard arm: (which actuates the lower guard
movement) may be oiled at the rear pivot,
greased at ball bearing contact, and oiled
where the guard arm actuates the acetyl roller
of the lower guard, if the down chop motion is
hard
to start.
