INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1.WARNING! Make sure the Power Switch of the Twin Cutter Saw is in its “OFF” position and the tool is unplugged from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
2.Before each use: Inspect the general condition of the Twin Cutter Saw. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or bent Saw Blades, damaged electrical 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.Before each use: Inspect the Saw Blades. Using dull Saw Blades will cause exces- sive wear on the Motor of the Twin Cutter Saw and will not produce a satisfactory cut. Replace with a new Saw Blade when needed. Replace both saw blades as
aset. (See Figure F.)
4.To replace or clean the Motor Carbon Brushes: It may become necessary at sometime to replace or clean the two Carbon Brushes when the Motor performance decreases, or stops working completely. The Carbon Brushes are located at the rear of the Housing. (See Assy. Diagram.)
To replace or clean the Carbon Brushes:
a.Unscrew and remove the two Tapping Screws located on the Back Cover of the Housing.
b.Slowly pull the Back Cover out to expose the Carbon Brushes.
c.Remove the two Carbon Brushes from the two Brush Holders.
d.If either of the Carbon Brushes are worn down more than 1/2, replace both Carbon Brushes. If, however, the Carbon Brushes are just dirty they may be cleaned by rubbing them with a pencil eraser.
e.When installing the Carbon Brushes, make sure the carbon portion of the Car- bon Brushes contact the Motor’s Stator and that the springs face away from the Stator. Also, make sure the springs operate freely.
f.After replacement or cleaning, push the Back Cover back against the Housing. Then, replace the two Tapping Screws.
g.NOTE: New Carbon Brushes tend to arc or spark when first used until they wear and conform to the Motor’s Stator.
5.To clean the exterior parts of the Twin Cutter Saw, use only a clean cloth and mild detergent to clean the outer body of the Saw. Do not immerse any electrical part of the tool in any liquids.
6.WARNING! All maintenance, service, or repairs not mentioned in this manual must only be performed by a qualified service technician.
