Replace for the other side. To reassemble
reverse the procedure. The ears on the
metal end of the assembly go in the same
hole the carbon part fits into. Tighten the
cap snugly, but do not overtighten. Repeat
for the carbon brush located on the other
side of motor.
NOTE:
To reinstall the same brushes,
first make sure the brushes go back in
exactly the way they came out. This will
avoid a break-in period that reduces motor
performance and increases wear.
LOWER BLADE GUARD
Do not use the saw without the lower
blade guard. The lower blade guard is
attached to the saw for your protection.
Should the lower guard become
damaged, do not use the saw until the
damaged guard has been replaced.
Develop a regular check to make sure
the lower guard is working properly.
Clean the lower guard of any dust or
buildup with a damp cloth.
•
When cleaning the lower guard,
unplug the saw from the power
source receptacle to avoid
unexpected startup.
•
Do not use solvents on the guard.
They could make the plastic “cloudy”
and brittle.
SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate
under the work table and base. This
could cause difficulty in the movement
of the worktable when setting up
a miter cut. Frequently blow out or
vacuum up the sawdust.
MAINTENANCE
•
To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit
off and disconnect it from power
source before installing and removing
accessories, before adjusting or
when making repairs. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
•
DO NOT touch the sharp points on
the blade with fingers or hands while
performing any maintenance.
•
To avoid injury, never put lubricants
on the blade while it is spinning.
•
DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners
(particularly spray or aerosol) in
the vicinity of the plastic guard.
The plastic material used in the
guard is subject to attack by certain
chemicals.
•
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never
use gasoline, naphtha acetone,
lacquer thinner or similar highly
volatile solvents to clean the miter
saw.
•
To avoid injury from unexpected
starting or electrical shock, unplug
the power cord before working on
the saw.
•
For your safety, this saw is double
insulated. To avoid electrical shock,
fire or injury, use only parts identical
to those identified in the parts list.
Reassemble exactly as the original
assembly to avoid electrical shock.
REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES
(FIGURE GG)
The carbon brushes furnished will last
approximately 50 hours of running time,
or 10,000 ON/OFF cycles. Replace both
carbon brushes when either has less than
1/4 in. length of carbon remaining, or if
the spring or wire is damaged or burned.
To inspect or replace brushes, first unplug
the saw. Then remove the plastic cap (1)
on the side of the motor (2). Remove the
cap cautiously, because it is springloaded.
Then pull out the brush and replace.
