abnormal noise or vibration occurs,
have the problem corrected before
further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
Never work with a dull saw blade.
2. Daily: With a soft brush, cloth, or
vacuum, remove all dust and debris
from the Miter Saw. Then, use a
premium quality, lightweight machine
oil to lubricate all moving parts except
the Saw Blade (56).

3. To replace the Motor Carbon
Brushes: It may become neces-
sary at sometime to replace the two
Carbon Brushes (73) when the Mo-
tor performance decreases, or stops
working completely. The Carbon
Brushes are located on each side
of the Motor Housing (75), see Fig-
ure Q. To replace the brushes:
a. Remove the two Brush Covers
(72). Then, remove the two Carbon
Brushes from the Brush Holders
(74).
b. If the Carbon Brushes are worn
down more than 1/2, replace both
Carbon Brushes. If, however, the
Carbon Brushes are just dirty they
may be cleaned by rubbing them
with a pencil eraser.
c. When installing the Carbon Brushes,
make sure the carbon portion of the
Carbon Brushes contact the Motor
Armature, and that the springs face
away from the Motor. Also, make
sure the springs operate freely.
d. Replace the Brush Holders.
NOTE: New Carbon Brushes tend to
arc or spark when first used until
they wear and conform to the Mo-
tor's Armature.
