WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 during product operation. If
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING:
Before performing any maintenance, make sure the tool is
unplugged from the power supply and the top button on
the switch is not depressed. Failure to heed this warning
could result in serious personal injury.

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 assembly for proper installation, fit,
clearances, and for free movement. Some wood types may
cause a buildup of dust, pitch, or resin on components,
so regular maintenance and cleaning is recommended.
Any cleaner used must be appropriate for use on plastic
parts.
 Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp cloth. Do
not use any aerosol or petroleum solvents.
 Protect the blade by cleaning out sawdust from under-
neath the table and in the blade teeth. Clean blade teeth
with a solvent recommended for gum and pitch removal.
 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.

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. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.
CLEANING THE RIVING KNIFE LOCK LEVER
PLATES
See Figure 62.
The lock lever on the riving knife may become difficult to
lock securely after extended use due to sawdust or debris
falling into the plates.
 Unplug the saw.
 Unlock the lever to remove the riving knife.
 Wipe the area with a clean dry cloth or use compressed
air to blow away debris.
 Clean the riving knife.
 Reinstall the riving knife and turn the lever to lock the
riving knife in place.
NOTE: If the lock lever is difficult to move or will not
fully close after the plates have been cleaned, contact
