and b. Carbon brushes are located on either side of
saw
and accessible by removing the black
caps.
We recommend the brushes be examined every two to six
months. The brushes should slide freely in and out of the
holders without sticking and be clear from dust and dirt.
Brushes need to be replaced when they have worn down to
3/16" in length.
How to check the brushes: Disconnect from the power
source.
Locate and unscrew the brush caps on the motor
housing and lift the brushes out. Clean with a clean cloth or
compressed air. Replace the brushes to original position and
replace caps. When changing parts make sure they are
identical.
Bearings
To avoid motor failure your bearings should be replaced at
an authorized repair shop after about 300 hours of use.
Bearings should be replaced immediately if they become
noisy.
A
WARNING
Remove plug from power source and read instruction
manual before making any adjustments or changing the
blade.
