Do not use cleaning solvents
such as gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner,
paint thinner, or ammonia, as these are harmful
to plastic and some of the insulated parts on
the machine. Never use flammable or
combustible solvents around tools.
Do not immerse the saw in
liquid as this may create risk of injury, electric
shock and damage to the saw.
Periodically:
1. The carriage is designed to move smoothly
along the guide tubes. If the guide tubes
become caked with dust, the carriage may not
slide evenly or become stuck. Occasionally
clean the guide tubes with a damp cloth and
apply a dry lubricant such as a spray silicone.
2. Rotate the motor to horizontal position and
check the motor oil level at the plug. Figure 22
shows the location of the oil plug. If low, fill
with SAE 70 or 80 gear oil to proper level. The
gear oil should be changed at least once a
year, or more frequently if the panel saw
receives heavy use.
Every six months:
1. Examine the motor brushes, and replace as
necessary.
2. Inspect and clean gears, spindles, bearings,
housing, etc.
3. Inspect switch, cord, armature, etc.
4. Test to ensure proper mechanical and
electrical performance.
