MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
 Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, screws, and
belts for tightness and condition. Make sure the throat
plate is in good condition and in position.
 Check the blade guard assembly for proper installation,
fit, and clearances, and for free movement.
 To maintain the table surfaces, fence, and rails, periodi-
cally apply paste wax to them and buff to provide smooth
functioning. To prevent work from slipping during cutting
operation, do not wax the working face of the miter gauge.
 Protect the blade by cleaning out sawdust from underneath
the table and in the blade teeth. Use a resin solvent on
the blade teeth.
