Dust Collection
Your table saw is equipped with a dust shroud and dust collection port. For best
results, connect a vacuum to the port at the rear of the saw. If the saw is operated
without a vacuum attached, most of the dust will be blown out of the dust collection
port. However, some dust will fall inside the base. If the saw is used on a table or
other surface without an opening on the bottom, clean out the base and accumulated
saw dust after each cut. After extended use, the saw’s dust collection system may
become clogged. To clear the dust collection system:
a) Unplug the saw.
b) Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit is accessible.
c) Open the dust access door shown in Fig. 24 by removing the two hair pin cotters
or the central retaining screw on the dust cover. Clean out the excess dust, and
re-secure the access door with the hair pin cotters or the central dust cover
screw.
When cutting wet wood without a vacuum or when cutting with a dado blade,
removing the dust access door may be helpful in preventing clogs.
Lubrication
1. All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and no additional
lubrication is needed.
2. The height adjustment screw may require periodic cleaning and lubrication. if
you have difficulty raising or lowering the blade:
a) Unplug the saw.
b) Turn the saw on its side, so the bottom, open part of the unit is accessible.
c) Clean and lubricate the height adjustment screws threads on the underside of
your saw with general purpose grease, as shown in Fig. 25.
Cleaning
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. Never use solvents to clean saw
or guard components.
