10. Clean the flanges and pour a little oil on both flanges before reassembling the new blade, fnstall a blade with a diameter
of 255 mm only. Check that the rotation direction of the blade (arrow marked on the blade) corresponds to the direction of
the arrow on the upper blade guard. Make sure the blade is behind the flange.
11. Press the button t o lock the shaft(A) Fig.24. Secure the blade in place using the blade change key, and turn the screw shaft
in a counter-clockwise direction to tighten.
12. Replace the lower blade guard and the protective flange in a down position and replace the pan head screw(C) Fig.22the
connecting part(B)and the housing screw (A).

It is absolutely essentia! t o use blades of the same thickness as the original blade so that the outer flange is held se-
curely on the machine axis during reassembly.

CAUTION!
Unplug the power cord from the power socket before carrying out any repairs or maintenance on the saw.The power cord
must always be unplugged whenever you adjust or carry out maintenance on the machine.
- Only use identical replacement parts with equivalent OEM characteristics to avoid electric shock, fire or personal injury.
- Replace the power cord immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged.
2. SAWDUST
/ l \!
Wear eye protection when using compressed air to clean your mitre saw.
Empty the dust bag regularly. Avoid the accumulation of sawdust around and under the saw. Use compressed air or a vacu-
um cleaner to keep the area clean.
3. LOWER BLADE GUARD
/ j \!
Make sure you have unplugged the power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning the lower blade guard.
Regularly check the proper functioning of lower blade guard. Do not use the saw with a damaged or missing lower blade
guard.
The lower blade guard is mounted on the machine for your safety.
Make sure that the lower blade guard is not cluttered with wood dust and that it is clean. Use a damp cloth to remove dust
from the lower blade guard.
NOTE:To avoid damage t o the lower blade guard, only clean it with a damp cloth. The use of solvents may damage the plastic
of the guard.
4. MAINTENANCE OF THE DUAL LASER
/ j \!
Do not look directly at the laser rays. You risk serious injury to your eye by deliberately staring at the laser beams. Read
all of the safety rules concerning the laser.
Check the cleanliness of the laser and remove dust from it if necessary.
1. Turn off the mitre saw and the laser. Unplug the saw.
2. Remove dust from the laser using a soft brush or a clean soft cloth, or a very light blast of compressed air.
5. LUBRICATION
All bearings are permanently lubricated and need not be greased periodically.
! \!
Unplug the power cord from the outlet before carrying out any repairs or maintenance on the saw.
6. INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES
CAUTION: Unplug the tool before checking the carbon brushes.
The life of carbon brushes varies. It depends on the workload
that is demanded of the motor. Check the carbon brushes after
the first 50 hours of use in the case of a new tool or after
installing a new set of carbon brushes.
After the first check, they must be inspected after every
10 hours of use until it becomes necessary
to replace them.
The carbon brushes doors {see figure opposite) are located on
each side of the motor housing. Replace the t w o carbon
brushes when the carbon of a carbon brush is used, and in less
than 5 mm in length, or if a spring or wire is burned or
damaged. If the carbon brushes are still usable after
inspection, return them to the position they were in
originally.
To do this, follow these steps:
1. Loosen and remove the two truss heads screws (B) Fig.26
that hold the cover of the motor casing(A).
2. Once the motor casing is removed,
remove each carbon brush(B) Fig.27. Check them and replace if
necessary. Replace the t w o carbon brushes even if only one
of the t w o is worn down.
3. To remove the carbon brushes, lower the spring(A), unplug
the carbon brush's wire(C) then remove the carbon brush and
check it. Repeat this step for the other carbon brush.
4. Replace the carbon brushes as soon as the wear limit is
reached (see Fig.28). Keep them clean.
NOTE: After checking the carbon brushes, make sure t o
put them back in the same position that they were in at the
outset if you do not replace them.
5. Place the carbon brushes in the motor casing. Reconnect
the wires to the terminals, attach the carbon brushes by
readjusting the springs(A) then put the motor cover back in
place and tighten the t w o screws(B) Fig.26.
6. Start the saw and let it run for about 5 to 10 minutes to
allow the carbon brushes to position themselves
correctly. If the carbon brushes are not correctly mounted,the
circuit breaker cannot function normally and the engine
may suffer damage. When the carbon brushes are being
"positioning", you can see some sparks in the motor. This is quite normal for new carbon brushes.
Warning: Always follow the basic safety precautions when using power tools in order t o reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and injury. In addition, you must read all instructions before using this product and save these instructions so you can refer
to them at anytime.
