ENGLISH
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the plastic
guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certainchemicals.
1. All bearings are sealed. They are lubricated for life and need no furthermaintenance.
2. Periodically clean all dust and wood chips from around AND UNDER the base and the
rotary table. Even though slots are provided to allow debris to pass through, some dust
willaccumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years of use. To replace the brushes refer to
Brushes or return the tool to the nearest service center for repair. A list of service center

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn off the tool and
disconnect it from the power source before attempting to move it, change
accessories or make anyadjustments.
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging the tool, removing the motor end cap
31
by
removing the two screws that secure it, and removing the brush cap that holds the spring-loaded
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 brush is worn
down to approximately 1/2" (12.7 mm), the spring will no longer exert pressure and they must
be replaced. Use only identical
DeWALT
brushes. Use of the correct grade of brush is essential
for proper operation of electric brake. New brush assemblies are available at
DeWALT
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.
