result in accidental starting causing serious
injury.
Remove brush cap with a screwdriver. Brush
assembly is spring loaded and will pop out when
you remove brush cap.
Remove brush assembly.
Check for wear. Replace both brushes when
either has less than 1/4 in. length of carbon
remaining. Do not replace one side without
replacing the other.
Reassemble using new brush assemblies.
Make
sure curvature of brush matches curvature of
motor and that brush moves freely in brush tube.
Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly
(straight) and replace.
Tighten brush cap securely. Do not overtighten.

WARNING:
To prevent accidental starting that
could cause possible serious personal injury,
assemble all accessories to your saw before
connecting it to power supply. Saw should never
be connected to power supply when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments, installing
or removing blades or accessories, or when not
in use.
DUST
BAG
See Figure 37.
The dust bag fits over the exhaust port on the upper
blade guard. To install it, remove the dust guide from
the exhaust port. Then, squeeze the two metal clips to
open the mouth of the bag and slide it on the exhaust
port. Release the clips. The metal ring in the bag
should lock in between the grooves on the exhaust
port. For more efficient operation, empty dust bag
when no more than half full. This will permit better air
flow through the bag.
