DANGER
Never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning.
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline,
naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile
solvents to clean the miter saw.
To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical
shock, unplug the power cord before working on the saw.
For your safety, this saw is double-insulated. To avoid
electrical shock, fire or injury, use only parts identical to
those identified in the parts list. Reassemble exactly as
the original assembly to avoid electrical shock.
REPLACING
CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. LL)
The carbon brushes fumished 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" length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is
damaged or burned. To inspect or replace brushes, first
unplug the saw. Then remove the black plastic cap (1) on
the side of the motor (2). Remove the cap cautiously,
because it is spring-loaded.
Then pull out the brush and
replace. Replace the other side in the same manner. To
reassemble, reverse the procedure.
The ears on the
metal end of the assembly go in the same hole the
carbon part fits into. Tighten the cap snugly, but do not
overtighten.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure the
brushes go back in the way they came out. This will
avoid a break-in period.

LOWER BLADE GUARD
Do not use the saw without the lower blade guard. The
lower blade guard is attached to the saw for your
protection.
Should the lower guard become damaged, do
not use the saw until the damaged guard has been
replaced. Develop a regular checkto make sure the
lower guard is working properly. Clean the lower guard of
any dust or buildup with a damp cloth.
CAUTION:
Do not use solvents on the guard. They could
make the plastic "cloudy" and brittle.
When cleaning the lower guard, unplug the saw from the
power source receptacle to avoid unexpected
startup.
SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the work
table and base. This could cause difficulty in the
movement of the worktable when setting up a miter cut.
Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust.
If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to keep
debris from entering eyes.
LUBRICATION
All the motor bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal operating conditions; therefore, no
further lubrication is required.
Lubricate the Following as Required:
Chop pi_t:
light machine oil or aerosol will penetrate
from the ends of the junction points. A qualified service
technician
can remove the pivot upstop to relieve tension,
and the 2 metric set screws holding the shaft, in order to
drive the shaft about 3/4" right. Exposed surfaces are
lubricated with automotive type oil.
Central pivot of plastic guard: Use light household
oil
(sewing machine oil ) on metal-to-metal
or
metal-to-plastic
guard contact areas as required for
smooth, quiet operation. Avoid excessive
oil, to which
sawdust will cling.
Link: (which actuates the lower guard movement) may be
oiled at the rear pivot, greased at ball bearing contact,
and oiled where the link actuates the acetyl roller of the
lower guard, if the down chop motion is hard to start.
