MAINTENANCE
CARBON BRUSH REPLACEMENT
1
The wear on the carbon brushes depends on
how frequently and how heavily the tool is used.
To maintain maximum efficiency of the motor,
we recommend inspecting the two carbon
brushes every 60 hours of operation or when
the tool stops working.
1. Unplug the saw. To access the carbon
brushes, remove the carbon brush cover
(Fig. 11, 1) with a flat-head screwdriver
(not included).

2. Carefully remove the old carbon brushes.
Keep track of which orientation the old
carbon brushes were in to prevent unnecessary
wear if they will be reinstalled.
3. Measure the length of the brushes. Install the
19/32"
or less
new set of carbon brushes if either carbon brush
length is worn down to 19/32" or less.
Reinstall the old carbon brushes (in their original
orientation) if your brushes are not worn down to
19/32" or less. Both carbon brushes should be
replaced at the same time.
4. Replace the carbon brush cover.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Before each use:
• Check the power cord and plug for any wear or damage.
• Check for any loose screws or hardware.
• Check the area to make sure it is clear of any misplaced tools, lumber, cleaning supplies,
etc. that could hamper the safe operation of the machine.
2. Check the saw blade before use to make sure that it is properly installed, tensioned and
not dull. Clean and efficient cutting results from a properly set blade.
3. Clean your saw after each use. Wipe it down with a soft cloth. Clean any accumulated
sawdust out of the base. Use low-pressure compressed air (not to exceed 25 PSI) to
blow any sawdust out of the blade holders, blade bevel rails, etc.. WARNING: If blowing
sawdust, wear proper eye protection to prevent debris from blowing into eyes.
4. If desired, apply a light coat of dry lubricant (such as PTFE) to the inside of the blade
bevel rails. This will help the table bevel smoothly.
5. The motor bearings, interior bearings, and table bevel rail bearings are all sealed and
require no additional lubrication.
