MAINTENANCE 

 

Warning:

 Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., 

come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in 

serious personal injury. 

 

Regular cleaning is required for the safe operation of the tool, as an excessive buildup of dust will prevent 

the tool from operating correctly. 

The dust extraction hose (B) may block and require cleaning occasionally, especially if damp wood is 

being cut. 

1.

 

Unplug from mains supply. 

2.

 

Clean thoroughly with a small soft brush, like a paint brush. 

3.

 

Keep the cooling vents on the motor housing clean and unobstructed at all times.  

4.

 

Never use any caustic agents or solvents to clean the plastic parts. 

 

Blade 

 

Always use a sharp blade. 

 

If the tool does not cut as well as expected or if it overheats (temperature cut out may trip) the most 

common cause is a blunt blade. 

 

It is difficult to see or feel if the blade is blunt. When in doubt use a new blade. 

 

Blades are consumable items. 

 

Beware when changing blade as they can become hot during use. Allow the blade to cool before 

replacing it. 

 

Carbon brush 

For safety reasons, the machine automatically switches off if the carbon brushes are so worn out that they 

no longer have contact with the motor. In that case, the carbon brushes must be replaced by a pair similar 

carbon brush available through the after-sales service organization or qualified professional person. 

 

If they are 6 mm or less then they must both be replaced. Fit new carbon brushes and replace the brush 

housing. 

 

CAUTION:

 The brushes must always be replaced in pairs. 

CAUTION:

 Always disconnect the machine from the power supply before removing any electrical 

covers. 

 

Changing the button batteries for Laser generator   

Unplug the saw from power mains. 

WARNING:

 Failure to unplug your tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious 

personal injury. 

1.

 

Open the battery cover located on the top of the motor by using a screwdriver. 

2.

 

Take out the old button batteries from battery holder and replace with new button batteries. 

Dispose of old batteries properly. 

3.

 

Close the battery cover.
