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, and screws for
tightness and condition. Make sure the throat plate is in
good condition and in position.
 Check the blade guard.
 Clean the fence and rails with a gum and pitch remover.
 Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp cloth. DO
NOT use any aerosol or petroleum solvents.

MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions.
Some areas will require lubrications. You will need to
apply:
 Light oil or a pressurized light spray oil to the sliding rails.
TO REPLACE THE BLADE
See Figures 18 - 19, pages 20.
WARNING:
A 5-1/2 in. blade is the maximum blade capacity of the
Larger blades will come in contact with the blade guard,
while thicker blades may not allow the riving knife to ef-
fectively reduce the risk of kickback. Either of these situ-
ations could result in a serious accident and can cause
serious personal injury.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Loosen the screws on the blade guard door.
 Open blade guard door to expose the blade bolt.
 Depress the spindle lock button and rotate the blade bolt
until the spindle locks.
