carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.
Store the tool indoors in a place that is
inaccessible to children. Keep away from

Care of Blades
Blades become dull even from cutting regular
lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guiding it through
the cut, chances are the blade is dull or coated
with wood pitch.
When cleaning gum and wood pitch from blade,
detach the battery pack and remove the blade.
Remember, blades are designed to cut, so
handle them carefully. Wear gloves and wipe the
blade with kerosene or similar solvent to remove
the gum and pitch.
Unless you are experienced in sharpening
blades, we recommend you do not try.
