Maintenance
Always unplug the power cord before any maintenance
check on this saw.
DANGER: Never put lubricants on the blade while
it's spinning.
WARNING: TO AVOID INJURY FROM UNEXPECTED
STARTING OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK, UNPLUG THE
POWER CORD BEFORE WORKING ON THE SAW.
WARNING: FOR YOUR SAFETY, THIS SAW IS DOU-
BLE INSULATED. TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
FIRE OR INJURY, USE ONLY PARTS IDENTICAL TO
THOSE IDENTIFIED IN THE PARTS LIST. REASSEM-
BLE EXACTLY AS ORIGINAL ASSEMBLY TO AVOID
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS.
Replacing Carbon Brushes
The carbon brushes furnished will last approximately
50 hours of running time or 10,000 on!off cycles. Re-
place both carbon brushes when either has less than
1,_-length of carbon remaining. To inspect or replace
first unplug the saw. Then remove the black plastic cap
on the side of the motor (caution, this cap is spring
loaded by the brush assembly). Then pull out the brush,
Repeat for the other side. To reassemble reverse the
procedure. The ears on the metal end of the brush
assembly go in the same hole the carbon part fits into,
Tighten the cap snugly but do not overtighten.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure
the brushes go back in the way they came out. This
win avoid a break in period that reduces performance
and increases wear.
Lower Blade Guard
Do not use the saw without the lower guard. The lower
blade guard is attached to the saw for protection. Should
the lower guard become damaged, do not use the saw
until damaged guard has been replaced. Develop a
regular check to make sure the lower guard is working
properly. Clean the lower guard of any dust or build up
with a damp cloth,
CAUTION: Do not use solvents on the guard. They
could make the plastic
"cloudy"
and brittle.
WARNING: WHEN CLEANING LOWER GUARD UN-
PLUG THE SAW FROM THE OUTLET TO AVOID
UNEXPECTED
START-UP.
Saw Dust
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate
under the work
table and base. This could cause difficulty in the move-
ment of the work table when setting up a miter cut.
Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust
