MAINTENANCE

Brushes (Fig. 18)
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before mak-
ing any adjustments or removing or installing attach-
ments or accessories. Be sure the switch is in the OFF
position.
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool,
removing the brush cap (OO) and withdrawing the brush
assembly. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their
guides. Always insert a replacement brush in the same ori-
entation in the holder as the used brush was prior to its
removal. Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped
into their sides, and if the brush is worn down to the line
closest to the spring, brushes must be replaced. Use only
identical D WALT brushes. Use of the correct grade of
E
brush is essential for proper operation. New brush assem-
blies are available at D WALT service centers. The tool
E
should be allowed to "run in" (run at no load) for 10 minutes
before use to seat new brushes.

Transportation and Storage

The rear water attachment (G), cutting cart water attach-
ment (I) and water pan (K) may be nested together to
make carrying easier (Fig. 19).
The edge guide (J) and the cutting cart extension (PP) may
also be stored in the underside of the water pan (Fig. 20).

Cleaning

1. Insert the water pump into a bucket of clean water and
pump the water through the hose system.
2. Turn off and unplug the saw from the power supply.
3. Place a 5 gallon bucket under the drain plug. Remove
the drain plug and allow the water to empty into the
bucket.
4. Slide the cutting cart off the rail system. Spray the cut-
ting cart with a hose or wipe with a grout sponge or rag.
5. Wipe the rails, motor housing, and support arm with a
grout sponge or a rag. Spray lubricants are not required
on the guide rail or wheels.
6. Clean the water pan by spraying with a hose or wiping
with a grout sponge.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool.
Many household cleaners contain chemicals which could
seriously damage plastic. Also, do not use gasoline, tur-
pentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or sim-
ilar products. Try not to let any liquid get inside the tool;
never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Lubrication

WARNING: NEVER spray or in any other way apply
lubricants or cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can
seriously affect the life and performance of the tool and
may result in personal injury.
D WALT tools are properly lubricated at the factory and
E
are ready for use. However, it is recommended that, once
