Cleaning 
WARNING! Blow dirt and dust out of the 
main housing with dry air as often as dirt is 
seen collecting in and around the air vents. 
Wear approved eye protection and approved dust  
mask when performing this procedure.  
WARNING! Never use solvents or other 
harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-
metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may 
weaken the material of the parts. Use only mild 
soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any 
liquid get inside the tool,cleaning of gasoline or 
other chemicals, never immerse any part of the tool 
into liquid.
LOWER GUARD
The lower guard should always rotate and close freely from 
a fully open to fully closed position. Always check for correct 
operation before cutting by fully opening the guard and 
letting it close. If the guard closes slowly or not completely 
it will need cleaning or servicing. Do not use the saw until it 
functions correctly. To clean the guard, use dry air or a soft 
brush to remove all accumulated sawdust or debris from the 
path of the guard and from around the guard spring. Should 
this not correct the problem, it will need to be serviced by an 
authorized service center.
Blades
A dull blade will cause inefficient cutting, overload on 
the saw motor, excessive splintering and increase the 
possibility of kickback. Change blades when it is no longer 
easy to push the saw through the cut, when the motor is 
straining, or when excessive heat is built up in the blade. 
It is a good practice to keep extra blades on hand so that 
sharp blades are available for immediate use. Dull blades 
can be sharpened in most areas.
Hardened gum on the blade can be removed with kerosene, 
turpentine, or oven cleaner. Anti-stick coated blades 
can be used in applications where excessive build- up is 
encountered, such as pressure treated and green lumber.
