Replacing Carbon Brushes

The carbon brushes furnished wilt last approximately 50 hours of running time or t0,000 on/off cycles Replace both carbon brushes when either has tess than 1/4" length of carbon remaining To inspect or reptace first unplug the saw Then remove the motor cap on the end of the motor by removing 2 screws. Remove the lead wires from the tabs on the brushes, then pull out the brushes To reassemble reverse the procedure. Tighten the screws snugly but do not overtighten,

Lubrication

Aft the motor bearings in this toot are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions, therefore, no further lubrication is required. (See below.)

infrequent Lubrication as Required:

1.Lubrication of arm pivot for free movement.,

a Apply oil between washer and contact face of Table/Pivot casting.

b Apply oil to pivot shaft nex_ to inside surface of ears on arm casting

NOTE: Disassembly should be done by an authorized service technician, Removal of the upper guard and the stopshaft is necessary before pivot can be disassem+ bled Pay close attention to the spring-end positions in the castings mark with chalk to avoid later confusion.

2.Lubrication of mechanism which pivots lower guard: (see picture) Use light household oil (sewing machine oit) or a pressurized light spray oil on metal- to-metal or metal-to-plastic guard contact areas as required for smooth, quiet operation Avoid excess oil to which sawdust will cling Lubricate the lower guard spacer, roller, pivot plate and link pivoL

3 Lubrication of miter index indents: Use a small

amount of grease on the miter index indents that are located below the table on the front of the unit

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 performance and increases wear,

Lower Blade Guard

Do not use the saw without the lower guard The lower blade guard is attached to the saw for protection Should the tower guard become damaged, do not use the saw until 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 build up with a damp cloth,

CAUTION: Do not use solvents on the guard. They could make the plastic "cloudy" and brittle.,

WARNING: When cleaning lower guard unplug the saw from the outlet to avoid unexpected start-up.
