MAINTENANCE
•
Maintain your Twin Cutter.
It is recommended that the general condition of any Twin Cutter be
examined before it is used. Keep your Twin Cutter in good repair by adopting a program of
conscientious repair and maintenance. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service
personnel.
• Keep the vents of the saw clean at all times. If possible, prevent foreign matter from entering the
vents.
• After each use, blow air through the saw housing and guard, to ensure it is free from all dust
particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the saw to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the saw requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a moist soft cloth only. Never
let any liquid get inside the saw; never immerse any part of the saw into a liquid.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the saw will spark and/or stop.
Discontinue use as soon as this happens. They should be replaced prior
to recommencing use of the saw. Carbon brushes are a wearing
component of the saw therefore not covered under warranty. Continuing
to use the saw when carbon brushes need to be replaced may cause
permanent damage to the saw. Carbon brushes will wear out after many
uses. When the carbon brushes need to be replaced, take the saw to an
electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and low cost replacement. Always replace both
carbon brushes at the same time.
