Motor Assembly
Assembly Step 1
Turn the base of your saw upside down. Push the long piece of tubing from your parts
bag onto the barbed tting. Tubing inside diameters vary widely from batch to batch and
from manufacturer to manufacturer. Soaking one end of your tubing in hot water helps to
overcome a too-tight t.
Insert tube onto barbed tting
Assembly Step 2
Place motor assembly on top of base. Slip a plastic washer onto each of the two
plastic thumbscrews found in your parts bag. Insert thumbscrews into blue grom-
mets at the upper outside corners of the water tray. Tighten screws into motor
assembly snug tight only.
