The wax, available at most hardware stores and industrial
mill supply houses, provides proper lubrication and keeps
chips from adhering to the blade.
Be sure to properly secure workpiece. Refer to page 4 for
correct saw blade.
BOWED MATERIAL
When cutting bowed material always position it as shown
in Figure 33 and never like that shown in Figure 34.
Positioning the material incorrectly will cause it to pinch the
blade near the completion of the cut.
CUTTING PLASTIC PIPE OR OTHER ROUND
MATERIAL
Plastic pipe can be easily cut with your saw. It should be
cut just like wood and CLAMPED OR HELD FIRMLY
TO THE FENCE TO KEEP IT FROM ROLLING. This is
extremely important when making angle cuts.
CUTTING LARGE MATERIAL
Occasionally you will encounter a piece of wood a little too
large to fit beneath the blade guard. A little extra height
can be gained by rolling the guard up out of the way, as
shown in Figure 28. Avoid doing this as much as possible,
but if need be, the saw will operate properly and make the
bigger cut. NEVER TIE, TAPE, OR OTHERWISE HOLD
THE GUARD OPEN WHEN OPERATING THIS SAW.
MAINTENANCE
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray
or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic guard. The
polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to
attack by certain chemicals.
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and
need no further maintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around
AND UNDER the base and the rotary table. Even
though slots are provided to allow debris to pass
through, some dust will accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years
of use. To replace the brushes refer to Brushes on
page 8 or return the tool to the nearest service center
for repair. A list of service center locations is packed
with your tool.
