INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
1.
WARNING! Always unplug the Saw from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning.
2.Before each use: Inspect the general condition of the Saw. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, loose, cracked or broken parts, damaged wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.
3.Daily: The Saw Blade (10) must be sharp and clean to perform properly. Depending on materials cut and frequency of tool use, the Saw Blade may become clogged with metal particles and dull. Dull Saw Blades rub the workpiece rather than cut, which results in increased friction, higher temperatures, and a burned workpiece. As often as possible, check the condition of the Saw Blade and, if necessary, replace a worn Saw Blade with a new,
(See “To Install A Saw Blade” section for further information.)
4.DAILY: With a vacuum or compressed air, remove all metal debris from the metal debris compartment of the Saw. To do so, lift up and open the Main Lock Plate (59) to expose the metal debris compartment. Once cleaned, close and lower the Main Lock Plate. Do not immerse the Saw in liquid. (See Figure J.)

5.Periodically: The Saw features two Carbon Brushes (43) which, periodically, should be examined for wear. The Carbon Brushes are located on each side of the Motor Housing (41). To inspect or replace the Carbon Brushes, use a small standard screwdriver to remove the Brush Covers (42). Then, carefully pull out the Carbon Brushes. Examine the concave surface of the Carbon Brushes.
