MAINTENANCE
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 sliding mitre 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 doubleqnsulated.
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
The carbon brushes furnished wilI 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. To inspect or replace brushes, first
unplug the saw, Then remove the black plastic cap on the
side of the motor (Remove the cap cautiously,
because
it is springJoaded.)
Then pull out the brush. Repeat for
the other side. To reassemble reverse the procedure. The
ears on -[he 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 that reduces motor performance and
increases wear.
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 check to make sure the lower guard is
working properly. Clean the Iower guard of any dust or
buildup with a damp cloth.
CAUTmON: 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 accumula[e under the work
table and base. This could cause difficulty in the
movement of the worktable when setting up a mitre cut.
Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust.
If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to keep
debris from blowing into eyes.
LUBRICANON
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 (see below).
Infrequent lubrication as required:
Chop pivot: light machine oil or aerosol will penetrate
from the ends and 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 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.
Bevel !ock handJe: Unscrew the handle assembly and
grease the threads.
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 acetyt roller of the
lower guard, if the down chop motion is hard to start.
TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE
To avoid injury from an accidental start, turn the switch OFF and always remove the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments.
