Inspecting blade
•
Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before and after each use. Replace a cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
•
Continuing to use a dull blade may cause a
dangerous kickback and/or motor overload.
Replace with a new blade as soon as it no longer
cuts effectively.
•
Blades for metal cutter cannot be re-sharpened.
Replacing carbon brushes

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep

Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
