WARNING:
Check the work surface that the chop
saw rests on when replacing with a new abrasive wheel. It
is possible that the wheel may contact ANY ITEMS OR
STRUCTURE THAT EXTENDS ABOVE work surface (under the
base) when the arm is fully lowered.
OPERATION TIPS FOR MORE ACCURATE CUTS
•
Allow the wheel to do the cutting. Insufficient force will cause
the wheel to glaze reducing cutting efficiency. Excessive force
will cause the wheel to deflect causing inaccurate cuts.
• Properly adjust fence angle.
• Make sure material is laying flat across base.
• Properly clamp material to avoid movement and
vibration.
MOTOR BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT (FIG.9)
WARNING:Turn off and unplug the tool. Be sure
the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
Brushes should be regularly inspected for wear. To inspect
brushes, unscrew the two end cap screws (V) and remove
end cap (W). Remove brush cap (Y). Brushes (X) should slide
freely in brush box. If brushes are worn down to 8mm (0.3")
as shown in Figure 9 they should be replaced. To reinstall,
push new brush back into brushbox. If replacing existing
brush, maintain same orientation as when removed.
Replace the brush cap (do not overtighten). Replace end cap
and two screws. Tighten securely.
