maintenance

General

Maintenance:

1.

Regularly

inspect

the diamond

saw

blade.

Using

a

dull

blade

will

cause

excessive

wear

on

the

motor, and will not produce

a

satisfactory cut. Replace with

a

new

one

when

needed.

2.

Inspect the mounting

screw

on

all

safety

coven,

and

the arbor

nut

on

the

cutting wheel

T~ghtenany that appear loose.

3.

Protect the motor and electr~calcomponents from

prolonged

or

excessive exposure to

water

or wet conditions. Wipe

the

as

needed.

4.

Periodically

apply

a

light lubricantto

the

rat1 cover.

Note.

The
