The saw plate had a good bit of surface rust, but I managed to get it

the power plug. But what else might I be looking at?

Why "of course"? *It didn't get dull from not being used; any surface
rust will go away on the first cut or two.

There's something I didn't know. Thanks. I'll run the old blade
through some scrap and see what happens. It looks like it may have
been a pretty decent one at one time, with probably 80 teeth or so.
I've ordered the brushes for my broken saw and now plan to keep the
combo blade on that one and a finer one on my Dad's. If I don't have
to buy a new blade, so much the better.

Unless there's something wrong w/ the cordset...

Are the plug conductors supposed to be reddish brown? The saw runs
OK, but I can't in good conscience leave that arc-hazard on it.

Same thing on the lubrication.


By this, do you mean lube should not be necessary unless I notice a
problem?

Thanks for the help.
