dust? Is the floor free of obstructions? Is their adequate ventilation? Is the worker properly

near gas cylinders, thinner, or explosive and other hazardous substances or in a place
filled with flammable gas, etc. Therefore, do not use the tool in places where such hazard-
ous substances are present.

Maintenance of the Main Unit

Always unplug the saw from the electric outlet before attempting any maintenance. Clean
the entire unit occasionally by removing dust, debris and oils. Occasionally remove the
flush cutting bottom plate; then remove any cutting chips that remain lodged in the area
the cutting blade rotated.
It is also recommended that the cutting blade be removed and inspect for any materials
that did not exit out the chip exhaust area. This should be done after 4-8 hours of use.
Most material cutting chips would normally exit out the chip exhaust area and into the bag.
It is recommended that the bag be emptied when it becomes 2/3 full of cut material.
