General maintenance tips for your Makita miter saw

• Avoid using solvents and harsh chemicals when cleaning plastic parts on your miter saw. Most plastic parts are susceptible to damage from various types of solvents and chemicals and may be damaged by their use.
• Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil and grease from the miter saw after each use. To remove tough stains, use a cloth moistened with soapy water then wipe the area down with a cloth moistened with plain water. Dry the area with a clean cloth.
• Inspect all parts of the saw regularly. Tighten any loose fasteners. Replace any worn or broken parts.
• Only use identical replacement parts to ensure the safety and reliability of the saw.

Electrical safety guidelines for your Makita miter saw

• Only use an electrical outlet or extension cord that matches the miter saw outlet plug. Don't modify the saw's outlet plug to fit the electrical outlet or extension cord.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators when operating the miter saw to reduce the risk of electrical shock if wires or components in the saw short circuit while your body is touching a grounded object.
• Don't expose the miter saw to rain or wet conditions because water entering the saw will increase the risk of electrical shock.
• Use an extension cord that is suitable for outdoor use when using the miter saw outdoors.
