MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Disconnect the abrasive Cut-off saw from the AC power source eliminating
any accidental starting of the motor.
Before using the abrasive Cut-off saw, a thorough inspection should be
made. Check for the following:
1. Loose screws
2. Misalignment or binding of moving parts
3. Cracked or broken parts
4. Damaged electrical wiring
5. Cracked, chipped or bent Cut-off wheel
If any abnormal sounds are heard or abnormal smells or smoke is visible
when Cut-off saw is started, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY, TURN OFF
SAW AND REMOVE IT FROM THE AC POWER SOURCE. These could be warn-
ing signs of imminent DANGER. DO NOT USE CUT-OFF SAW IF ANY DAMAGE
IS SUSPECTED. Failure to adhere to this WARNING could result in damage
to the tool or severe injury or death to the operator.
CLEANING
Daily: Using a soft-bristled brush, cloth, or shop vacuum, remove all clippings, dust,
or other debris around the Cut-off saw. Follow the cleaning by using premium light-
weight machine oil and lubricate all movable parts.
DO NOT USE MACHINE OIL ON THE ABRASIVE CUT-OFF
WHEEL. Machine oil will absorb into the abrasive material making up the
wheel and potentially weakening it causing it to break. Should the Cut-off
wheel break while it is in motion, pieces could fly off at high speed damag-
ing the Cut-off saw, the workpiece or resulting in serious injury or even death
to the operator.
MAINTENANCE
The abrasive Cut-off saw is virtually maintenance free. Closed-type, grease-sealed
ball bearings are used throughout the Cut-off saw. These bearings are packed with
grease at the factory and should last the life of the Cut-off saw. The only required
maintenance is covered in the CLEANING Section above. If this particular model
Cut-off saw is equipped with replaceable carbon brushes on the motor, there may
become a time they need replacing. See Figure 8.
