Dust Duct Cleaning
Depending on your cutting environment, saw dust can clog the dust duct and may prevent 
dust from flowing away from the cutting area properly. With the saw unplugged and the saw 
head raised fully, low pressure air or a large diameter dowel rod can be used to clear the dust 
out of the dust duct.
Brushes
 WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from 
power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when 
making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool, removing the motor endcap (Fig. 4), 
lifting the brush spring and withdrawing the brush assembly. Keep brushes clean and sliding 
freely in their guides. Always replace a used brush in the same orientation in the holder as it 
was prior to its removal. If the brushes are worn down to approximately 1/2" (12.7 mm), the 
springs will no longer exert pressure and they must be replaced. Use only identical D
EWALT 
brushes. Use of the correct grade of brush is essential for proper operation of electric brake. 
New brush assemblies are available at D
EWALT service centers. The tool should be allowed 
to “run in” (run at no load) for 10 minutes before use to seat new brushes. The electric brake 
may be erratic in operation until the brushes are properly seated (worn in). Always replace the 
brush inspection cap after inspection or servicing the brushes.
While “running in” DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHER WISE LOCK THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. 
HOLD BY HAND ONLY.
Cleaning
 WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. 
To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when 
performing this.

of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a
