WARNING: To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool from the power supply before cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
CLEANING
1. Clean the tool after every use with a soft cloth. Keep the ventilation openings free from dust and debris. Avoid
using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use.
2. Remove the saw blade after use and wipe it clean with a dry cloth.
WARNING: Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these include but are
not limited to: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
detergents that contain ammonia.
NOTE: Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to acceler-
ated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types
of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using
compressed air after operation.
MAINTENANCE
CARBON BRUSH REPLACEMENT (Fig. 14 & 15)
To maintain maximum efficiency of the motor, we recommend inspecting
the two carbon brushes every 60 hours of operation.
NOTE: Replacement carbon brushes (Part No. 33606-019) can be or-
dered at wenproducts.com. Only genuine WEN replacement brushes de-
signed specifically for your tool should be used.
1. To access the carbon brushes, remove the clear plastic blade guard and
unscrew the 11 screws from the right housing. Remove the housing and
check the brushes, located left of the stator and pressed against the motor
commutator (Fig. 14).
2. The wear on the carbon brushes depends on how frequently and how
heavily the tool is used. Replace the brushes when the brush length (Fig.
15) gets down to 3/16 of an inch or when the tool sparks or stops working.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time.
