1. Turn the saw on its side and remove the rubber bearing
cover.
2. Squirt a generous amount of SAE 20 oil (lightweight
motor oil) around the shaft and bearing.
3. Let the oil soak in overnight.
4. Repeat the above procedure for the opposite side of the
saw.
Brushes
( Fig.25)
Check the condition of the carbon brushes after 50 hours of use. If
the brushes are worn to1/16"(2mm)in length, replace them.
1. Loosen and remove the
two brush caps (1) using a
flat-blade screwdriver.
2. Pull out each brush (2).
Inspect the brush and
replace if necessary.
Replace both brushes
even if only one is
damaged.
Note:
After inspecting the
brushes, be sure to install the
brushes into the same position
that they were removed from if you are not installing new
ones.
3. Position the brushes into the motor. Tighten the brush
caps (1) snugly. Do not overtighten.
4. Run the saw for approximately 5 to 10 minutes to allow
the brushes to "seat" themselves. If the brushes are not
seated correctly, the electric brake may not function
correctly and could damage the motor. While the brushes
are seating,some sparking may be noticed in the motor.
This is normal for new brushes.
