• Place a small amount of dry lubricant
on the bevel gear (2). The worm gear (3)
must be kept clean and free of sawdust,
gum, pitch, and other contaminants for
smooth operations. (Figure ee)

NOTE: If excessive looseness is observed
in any part of the blade raising mechanism
or tilting mechanism, take the complete
unit to a Service Center.
LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are permanently
lubricated at the factory and require no
additional lubrication. On all mechanical
parts of your table saw where a pivot or
threaded rod are present, lubricate using
graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants
will not hold sawdust as would oil or
grease.
REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES
(FIGURE ff, gg)
Always disconnect the

plug from the power source before
inspecting the brushes.
The carbon brushes included with the unit
will last approximately 50 hours of running
time, or 10,000 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.
• Remove the blade guard, blade, rip
fence, miter gauge and stand assembly
from the table saw.

• Lower the blade height to its minimum
setting. This will make the brush
locations easier to access.
• Place cardboard or an old blanket
on the floor to protect the saw table
surface.
• Place the saw upside down on the
protective material.
• Tilt the blade elevation/tilting
handwheel (1) to the 45° position.
(Figure ff)
• Remove the black plastic cap (2) from
the side of the motor (3).

• Carefully remove the spring-loaded
cap, and then pull out the brush (4) and
replace. (Figure gg)
• Repeat above two steps for the other
side of motor.
• Place the new brush into the opening
of motor, making sure the ears on the
metal end of the assembly go in the
same hole the carbon part fits into. Do
not overtighten the plastic cap.
• Carefully set the saw in a upright
position on a clean level surface.
• Replace the blade guard, blade, rip
fence, miter gauge and stand assembly
to the table saw.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes,
first make sure the brushes go back in
the same sides they came out. This will
avoid a break-in period that reduces motor
performance and increases wear.
