Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the mitre saw
will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon
as this happens. They should be replaced prior to
recommencing use of the mitre saw. Carbon brushes
are a wearing component of the mitre saw therefore not
covered under warranty. Continuing to use the mitre
saw when carbon brushes need to be replaced may
cause permanent damage to the mitre saw. Carbon
brushes will wear out after many uses but when the carbon brushes need to be
replaced, take the mitre 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.
Note:
Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused
by the repair of the mitre saw by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of
the mitre saw.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
The lock down pin is provided for holding the cutting head down whilst
transporting or storing the mitre saw. The saw must never be used with the lock
down pin locking the head down. Tighten the slide lock during transportation.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Dust extraction port can block easily with dust and requires
to be periodically cleaned. For more efficient operation,
empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full. This
allows better air flow through the bag. Dust bags will not
collect all the saw dust generated by the mitre saw. For
best results a dust extractor should be used in place of the
dust bag.
Dust Bag
