INSTRUCTIONS
GROUNDING
This tool should be grounded while in use to protect the opera¬
tor from electric shock.
1, Cord-Connected Tools-~The tool is eciuipped with an ap¬
proved three-conductor cord and three-prong grounding type
plug to fit the proper grounding type receptacle. The green (or
green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire.
Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live
terminal If your unit is for use on less than 150 volts, it has a
plug like that shown in Figure A. If it is for use on 150 to 250
volts, it has a plug like that shown in Figure 0. An adapter
Figures 8 and C, is available for connecting Figure A plugs to
two-prong receptacles. The green-colored rigid ear, lug, etc.,
must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box. No adapter is available for a plug as
shown in Figure D. Adapter shown in Figures B and C is not
for use in Canada.
Ujre only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong type plugs
and 3-poie receptacles which accept the tool's plug. Replace
or repair damaged or worn cord immediately.
If you replace the plug on the power cord, be sure to connect
the green wire only to the grounding (longest) prong, on a
3-prong plug.
EXTENSION CORD
When using the tool at a considerable distance from' power
source, a 3 conductor, grounding-type extension cord of ade¬
quate size must be used for safety and to prevent loss to power
and over-heating. Use the table below to determine the mini¬
mum wire size required.
Use only 3-wire extension cords which have 3-prong type plugs
and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool's plug. Replace or
repair damaged or worn cord immediately.

MOTOR
Your DeWALT tool is powered by a B^D-built motor. Be sure your
power supply agrees with nameplate marking. Volts 50/^ Hz
means Alternating Current ONLY. Voltage variation of more than
10% will cause'loss of power and over-heating. All DeWALT tools
are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power
supply.
The use of a separate circuit independent of the'lighting circuit is
recommended.
MOTOR BRUSHES
It is recommended that the carbon brushes and the brush
springs be replaced when motor arcing becomes excessive.
If the surface of the commutator is pitted or grooved, we recom¬
mend the unit be taken to a DeWalt or Black
8i
Decker Service
Center for repair. Otherwise, brushes and springs may be replac¬
ed as foJiows:
1. Unplug saw from powr supply.
2. Slide brush holder cover toward rear of motor housing
(hold hand in front of opening to prevent spring from
flying from opening). See photo below.
3.
Remove spring along with terminal and lead wire.
4. Use a piece of stiff wire, such as an opened paper clip,
to reach inside the bmsh hoiders and pull brushes out.
5.
insert new carbon brushes into the holder with the
radius tovi^rd the commutator.
6. Thread new springs into the temiinals and spring caps.
Insert Into brush holders and replace brush holder
covers.
7.
Plug saw into power supply and allow saw to run Idle
for 15 minutes to seat the brushes.
For any other motor maintenance we recommend you take the
unit to a DeWalt or Black li Decker Service Center.
