MAINTENANCE

(Perform all maintenance with miter saw unplugged.)

provided to allow debris to pass through, some dust will
accumulate.
3. The brushes are designed to give you several years of use. If
they ever need replacement follow the instructions in this manual
or return the tool to the nearest service center for repair.
IMPORTANT
To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance
and adjustment (including brush inspection and replacement) should
be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service
organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
