CARE AND MAINTENANCE
● To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use
gasoline, naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner
or similar highly volatile solvents to clean the
miter saw.
● To avoid injury from unexpected starting
or electrical shock, unplug the power cord
before working on the saw.
● For your safety, this saw is double insulated.
To avoid electrical shock, fire or injury, use
only parts identical to those identified in
the parts list. Reassemble exactly to avoid
electrical shock.
REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. 46)
The carbon brushes (3) furnished will last
approximately 50 hours of running time, or
1
0,000 ON/OFF cycles. Replace both carbon
brushes when either has less than
1/4 in. length
of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire
is damaged or burned. To inspect or replace
brushes, first unplug the saw. Remove the black
plastic cap (1) on the side of the motor (2).
Carefully remove the spring-loaded cap. Pull
out the brush and replace. Replace for the other
side. Reverse the procedure for reassembly.
Press the metal part of the carbon brush into the
hole where the carbon part fits. Tighten the cap
snugly but do not overtighten.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make
sure the brushes go back in the way they came
out. This will avoid a break-in period that reduces
motor performance and increases wear.
LOWER BLADE GUARD (FIG. 47)
Do not use the saw without the lower blade
guard. The lower blade guard is attached to
the saw for your protection. Should the lower
guard become damaged, do not use the saw
until the damaged guard has been replaced.
Check regularly to make sure the lower guard is
working properly. Clean the lower guard of any
dust or buildup with a damp cloth.
● Do not use solvents on the guard. They could
make the plastic cloudy and brittle.
● When cleaning the lower guard, unplug the
saw to avoid unexpected start-up.
