MAINTENANCE
Please recycle the packaging and electronic
components where facilities exist.
ROUTINE INSPECTION
Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tool.
If any of these following conditions exist, do not use until
parts are replaced or the saw is properly repaired.
Check for:
• Loose hardware,
• Misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• Damaged cord/electrical wiring,
• Cracked or broken parts, and
• Any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
CLEANING & STORAGE
CAUTION!
Most plastics are susceptible to damage
from various types of commercial solvents. Do not use
any solvents or cleaning products that could damage
the plastic parts. Some of these include but are not
limited to: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, and household detergents that con-
tain ammonia.
1. Keep the ventilation openings free from dust and debris
to prevent the motor from overheating.
2. Wipe the tool surfaces clean with a clean cloth. Make
sure water does not get into the tool.
3. Store the tool in a clean and dry place away from the
reach of children. Store in temperatures between 41° to
86°F.
4. Cover the miter saw in order to protect it from dust and
moisture. It is preferable to store it in its original packaging
with the instruction manual and all accessories.
PRODUCT DISPOSAL
Used power tools should not be disposed of together with
household waste. This product contains electronic compo-
nents that should be recycled. Please take this product to
your local recycling facility for responsible disposal and to
minimize its environmental impact.
LUBRICATION
The bearings of your miter saw are permanently
sealed and require no extra lubrication. The gearbox
is also sufficiently lubricated from the factory and
requires no additional lubrication.
CARBON BRUSH REPLACEMENT
Replacement carbon brushes (Part No. MM1011-
007) can be ordered at
wenproducts.com
. Only gen-
uine WEN replacement brushes designed specifically
for your tool should be used. Carbon brushes are
not
covered under the two-year warranty.
1. To access the carbon brushes, remove the carbon
brush caps (Fig. 18) with a flat-head screwdriver
(not included).
NOTE:
The second carbon brush cap
is on the opposite side of the motor housing.
2. Carefully remove the old carbon brushes using
pliers.
3. Install the new carbon brushes. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Re-
place the carbon brush cap.
NOTE:
New carbon brushes tend to spark for a few
minutes during the first use as they wear down.
