i_ WARNING
i
Never put lubricants
on the abrasive
wheel 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 chop saw.
To avoid injury from unexpected
starting or electrical
shock, unplug
the power cord before working
on
the tool. 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. L)
NOTE: Before replacing carbon
brushes, make sure the machine has
been disconnected from the power
source.
The carbon brushes furnished 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 wire is
damaged or burned.
,
To inspect or replace brushes, first
unplug the tool. Remove the black
plastic cap (1) on the side of the
motor (2).
NOTE: The brush assembly (3) has
a spring, so the cap (1) may pop
out when loosened.
,
Pull out the brush assembly (3) and
replace with the new one, if needed.
The ears on the metal end of the
assembly go in the same slots the
carbon part fits into. Tighten the
cap snugly, but do not overtighten.
Repeat for the other side.
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.
