MAINTENANCE

DANGER
To avoid injury, never put lubricants on the blade while it is
spinning.
WARNING
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline, naphtha
acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly volatile solvents to
clean the miter saw.
WARNING
To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock,
unplug the power cord before working on the saw.
WARNING
For your safety, this saw is double-insulated. To avoid elec-
trical 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. FF)
Replace both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4
in. length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is dam-
aged 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 sprin-
gloaded. Then pull out the brush and replace. Replace for the
other side. 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 that reduces motor performance and increas-
es wear.
