TOOL LUBRICATION
Your SKILSAW tool has been properly
lubricated and is ready to use. However it is
recommended that the gears be relubricated
only with SKILSAW lubricants: No.
SPTH5009-SO(8 oz.tube).
Always check the oil level before using the
saw. To check and add oil: Remove the
battery pack from the circular saw and place
the saw’s foot on a horizontal surface with tool
set to maximum depth of cut. Remove the
oil plug/lock button assembly with the same
wrench used to remove the saw blade. The oil
level should never be below bottom threads in
the housing. When adding oil, ll until the oil
reaches the bottom threads of the housing. Do
not over ll. Replace the oil plug/lock button
assembly when nished (Fig. 16).
NOTE: If the oil is dirty or thick, replace the oil

one minute to warm up the oil. Then remove
the oil plug/lock button assembly and turn the
saw upside down to remove all the oil. Add
fresh SKILSAW lubricant. With a new saw,
change the the oil after the rst ten hours of
use.
BEARINGS
Bearings that become noisy (due to heavy
load or cutting very abrasive material
cutting) should be replaced at once to avoid
overheating or motor failure.
CLEANING
The tool may be cleaned most effectively
with compressed dry air. Always wear
safety gog-gles when cleaning tools with
compressed air.
The guarding system, ventilation openings
and switch levers must be kept clean and free
of foreign matter. Do not at tempt to clean by
inserting pointed objects through openings.
CAUTION
Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia, and household
detergents that contain ammonia.
CARE OF BLADES
Blades become dull, even from cutting regular
lumber. If you nd yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guiding it through
the cut, it is likely that the blade is dull or
coated with wood pitch.
Before cleaning gum and wood pitch from blade,
detach the battery pack and remove the blade.
Remember, blades are designed to cut, so
handle them carefully. Wear gloves and wipe
the blade with kerosene or similar solvent to
remove the gum and pitch.
Unless you are experienced in sharpening
blades, we recommend you do not try.
