MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Clean out the guard to ensure there is no
accumulated sawdust and chips which
may impede the operation of the guarding
system. A dirty guarding system may limit the
proper operation which could result in serious
personalinjury.Themosteffectivewayto
accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air.
If the dust is being blown out of the guard,
be sure the proper eye and breathing protec-
tion is used.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
