NOTE:
To reinstall the same brushes,
first make sure the brushes go back in
the way they came out. This will avoid
a break-in period that reduces motor
performance and increases wear.

●
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.
EMPTYING SAWDUST BAG
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.
Wear proper eye protection to keep
debris from entering eyes when
removing sawdust from unit.
CHECKING AND TIGHTENING THE
TABLE LOCK LEVER
After a period of use, the lock levers
might loosen and couldn’t clamp the
sliding fence units tightly.
An adjustment is needed. Please see
ADJUSTING LOCK LEVERS section
on page 18.
MAINTENANCE
To avoid injury, never put lubricants
on the blade while it is spinning.
●
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
(FIG. PP)
Replace both carbon brushes when
either has less than 6.35 mm 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 black 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. 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.
