Dry it off, then use a hairdryer to blow into the vents. Partial disassembly is advised. Ron in Texas

Hopefully it hasn't been left out long (ie a couple of days exposed). As with any electrical device that gets wet it can be saved, usually. For this I would remove the blade and leave the saw open. Set on an angle that would put the blade pointing down. Using a hair dryer or other space heater will help dry out the components quickly to prevent corrosion. Chances are the control board and major electrical inside are waterproof to some degree since it is an outdoor electrical tool. Give it a good couple of days to thoroughly dry out and you should be good.

I used wire nuts and sunk them in liquid electrical tape. They make waterproof connectors though that can be found and Home Depot or Lowes.

Make it is dry before packing away. I leave mine out for a whole day drying in the sun before packing it up and don't put in basement where it is damp.

The electric controller plug in is not suppose to get wet (rained on). So when not in use, it is best to unplug it and bring in under shelter. The unit itself stays out.

I fill mine up with a hair dryer on cool. Simple and quickest way to do it but of course you need electric.

I use a paper towel and reach inside the holes with it. If you have time, let it air dry upside down for awhile. If not, the paper towel will get it dry.

It cannot be used as a wet saw, it is a dry saw only. It cuts great, but there is a great deal of dust. Wear a face mask and glasses.

Cleaning is easy. Unplug the saw and use a water hose. Changing the blade is easy too. Saw comes with blade tool.

Remove the battery from the saw. The battery should come with a charger that attaches to the battery and to a transformer that plugs into an outlet.

Unfortunately this cannot be used outdoors as the motors are not sealed for damp use and the blades are wood. Thank you, Mike H. Dan's Fan City

I used a hacksaw to saw down a little then i took a pair of pliers and broke it off. That should do the job.

I have left mine in the rain with no problems. I put mine in our storage building for the winter, just to protect it from the elements. I suppose you could leave it outside, but I personally don't think that is the best care for your equipment.

Yes, don't fly it in the rain, if it gets wet use a hair dryer to dry it but use it on warm air

just run it through some water until its soft again and keep it in a sealed plastic container(like the one it came in) so it doesn't lose the moisture when left in dry areas or not used for a long time.

Twist the container off and pour the water out. Dry with a paper towel then reattach.

I have been using it outdoors but in a covered porch area. If it gets wet, I take it apart to dry the inside then prepare it again.
