NOTE: If excessive looseness
is observed in any part of the
blade raising mechanism or tilting
mechanism, take the complete unit to
a Service Center.
LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are permanently
lubricated at the factory and require no
additional lubrication. On all mechanical
parts of your table saw where a pivot
or threaded rod are present, lubricate
using graphite or silicone. These dry
lubricants will not hold sawdust as
would oil or grease.
REPLACING THE CARBON
BRUSHES (FIG. oo, pp)
WARNING
!
Always disconnect the plug from
the power source before inspecting
the brushes.
The carbon brushes included with the
unit will last approximately 50 hours
of running time, or 10,000 ON/OFF
cycles. Replace both carbon brushes
when either has less than 1/4 in. length
of carbon remaining, or if the spring or
3
wire is damaged or burned.
1. Remove the blade guard, blade,
rip fence, miter gauge and stand
assembly from the table saw.
2. Lower the blade height to its
minimum setting. This will make the
brush locations easier to access.
3. Place cardboard or an old blanket
on the floor to protect the saw table
surface.
4. Place the saw upside down on the
protective material.
5. Tilt the blade elevation/tilting
handwheel (1) to the 45° position.

6. Remove the black plastic cap (2)
from the side of the motor (3).
