8. 

Use the Track Tension Adjusters to control 

movement resistance of the saw along the 

track. Set them to equal tension at the 

maximum level that allows smooth 

movement along the track. This will reduce 

or eliminate sideways movement for more 

precise cuts and improve safety. 

 

NOTE:

 Make sure the blade does NOT 

contact the workpiece.  

 

9. 

Turn the saw ON and slide the saw to cut. 

 

GENERAL 

 

WARNING:

 When servicing, use only 

identical replacement parts. The use of any 

other part may create a hazard or cause 

product damage. 

 

DO NOT

 use solvents when cleaning plastic 

parts. Plastics are susceptible to damage from 

various types of commercial solvents and may 

be damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to 

remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc. 

 

WARNING:

 Do not allow brake fluids, 

gasoline, petroleum-based products, 

penetrating oils, etc. to come into contact 

with plastic parts. They contain chemicals 

that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic. 

 

DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices 

can damage the tool and the workpiece. 

 

WARNING:

 DO NOT attempt to modify 

tools or create accessories. Any such 

alteration or modification is misuse and 

could result in a hazardous condition 

leading to possible serious injury. It will also 

void the warranty. 

 

It has been found that electric tools are 

subjected to accelerated wear and possible 

premature failure when they are used on 

fiberglass boats and sports cars, wallboard, 

spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and 

grindings from these materials are highly 

abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings, 

brushes, commutators, etc.  Consequently, it is  

 

 

 

 

 

not recommended that this tool be used for  

extended work on any fiberglass material, 

wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. 

During any use on these materials it is 

extremely important that the tool is cleaned 

frequently by blowing it out with an air jet. 

 

WARNING:

Always wear safety 

goggles or safety glasses with side shields 

during all  

cutting operations. It is critical that you also 

wear safety goggles or safety glasses with 

side shields and a dust mask while blowing 

dust out of the circular saw with an air jet. 

Failure to take these safety precautions 

could result in permanent eye or lung 

damage. 

 

LUBRICATION 

 

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with 

a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for 

the life of the unit under normal conditions. 

Therefore, no further lubrication is required. 

 

REPLACING CARBON MOTOR BRUSHES 

 

The carbon motor brushes will wear down  

and require replacing. The time intervals 

between replacements will vary depending upon 

the hours of use. It is recommended that the 

brushes be checked after each 10 hours of use. 

 

 

       

WARNING:

 

Unplug the tool from the 

power source before replacing brush.

 

 

1. 

Use a Philips (+) cross screwdriver (1) and 

remove the motor rear cover. (Fig. 18) 

2. 

Remove the brush clamp plate(2).(Fig.19) 

3. 

Remove the carbon brush connection wire 

(3) from brush terminal (4).(Fig.20) 

4. 

Remove the carbon brush with brush 

holder (5) from the motor housing (6). 

(Fig.21) 

5. 

Turn the brush terminal (4) a little angle, 

the brush terminal (4) will loosen from 

brush holder (5), then remove the carbon 

brush(6) from brush holder (5).(Fig.22-23) 

6. 

Reverse the process above to insert the 

carbon motor brushes back into the tool
