WARNING: Before performing any maintenance, make sure the tool is unplugged from the power supply and the switch is in the off position. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.  Periodically check all clamps, nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness and condition. Make sure the throat plate is in good condition and in position.  Check the blade guard.  Clean the fence and rails with a gum and pitch remover.  Clean plastic parts only with a soft damp cloth. DO NOT use any aerosol or petroleum solvents. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Some areas will require lubrications. You will need to apply:  Light oil or a pressurized light spray oil to the sliding rails. To remove / replace the throat plate See Figure 23, page 22. WARNING: The throat plate must be below the saw table. If the throat plate is too high or too low, the workpiece can catch on the uneven edges resulting in binding which could result in serious personal injury. Never operate the saw without a throat plate installed. To remove / replace:  Unplug the saw.  Remove the screws securing the throat plate.  Lift the throat plate from the saw. Repeat the above steps for the left side of the throat plate.  To reinstall the throat plate, align the holes in the throat plate with the holes in the saw base.  Retighten the screws, being careful not to overtighten which can cause the throat plate to bow or bend.
