Cleaning
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a rag.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. If the body of the saw needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
5. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the
plastic parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth
is recommended. Water must never come into contact
with the tool.
General inspection

Power cord maintenance
