Replacement of the Carbon Brushes (image 9)
For safety reasons, the machine automatically switch-

no longer have contact with the motor. In that case,
the carbon brushes must be replaced by a pair similar
carbon brush available through the after-sales service
organization or qualified professional person. Loosen
the carbon brush cover anti-clockwise with using a
screwdriver, open the cover and remove the carbon
brushes. If they are 6 mm or less then they must both
be replaced. Fit new carbon brushes and replace the
brush housing.
CAUTION: The brushes must always be replaced in
pairs.

power supply before removing any electrical covers.
OPERATION
General cut
1. When starting, always hold the saw handle with
one hand and the auxiliary handle 5 with the oth-
er hand. Never force the saw but maintain a light
and continuous pressure after completing the cut
allow the saw to come to a complete stop. When
cutting is interrupted, resume cutting by allowing
the blade to reach full speed and then reentering
the cut slowly.
2. When cutting across the grain, the fibers of the
wood have a tendency to lift and tear, moving the
saw slowly minimizes this effect.
Pocket cut
1. Disconnect the plug from the power supply
before making any adjustments. Set the depth
adjustment based on the thickness of the line
drawing for the cut. Raise the lower guard by
using the lift lever.
