Routine Maintenance

After every 20 hours of running, it is necessary to check the carbon brushes in the motor for
wear.
The carbon brushes must be replaced when the
carbon block has less than 5mm of material
remaining. Failure to replace them in time may
cause damage to the motor armature, which can
be expensive and difficult to replace.
Remove the hose and the saw guard. Wind the
blade down below the surface of the table.
Invert the saw and remove the plastic cover from
the base.
Tilt the blade over to the 45 degree bevel position
to gain better access to the brush cover.
Use a flat screwdriver to remove the plastic cap.
Use a small screw driver or pliers to pull out the
brush.
Check for wear, anything less than 5mm in length
should be replaced.
Push the new brush into place and refit the cap.
Repeat for the second brush on the opposite side
of the motor.
