Preserve predictable controls without crossing the service boundary
Start with the before-use inspection, then clean, store, and maintain only as the exact model manual permits.
Maintenance is observation, control, and documented care.
Blade, guard, power, mounting, stock support, dust collection, movement, and storage form one system. A changed sound, smell, feel, or stop time is evidence to pause—not an invitation to improvise an internal repair.
