Maintenance

Your Black & Decker corded/cordless appliance/tool has been
designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum
of maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends
upon proper appliance/tool care and regular cleaning.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance on corded/
cordless appliance/tool:
Switch off and remove the battery from the appliance.
u
Keep the ventilation slots clear and regularly clean the
u
housing with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
u
Motor brush inspection and replacement (fig. 9)
Warning! Turn off and unplug the tool. Be sure the trigger
switch is in the OFF position.
Brushes should be regularly inspected for wear. To inspect
brushes, remove brush cap (W). Brushes (V) should slide
freely in brush box. If brushes are worn down to .3" (8mm) as
shown in Figure 9 they should be replaced.
To reinstall, push new brush back into brush box. If replacing
existing brush, maintain same orientation as when removed.
Replace the brush cap (do not overtighten).
Cleaning
Blowing dust and grit out of the main housing by means of an
air hose is recommended and may be done as often as dirt is
seen collecting in and around the air vents. Always wear
proper eye and respiratory protection.
Repairs
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment should be performed by
authorized service centers or other qualified service
organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
Lubrication
Closed-type, grease-sealed ball bearings are used throughout.
These bearings have sufficient lubrication packed in them at
the factory to last the life of the chop saw.
