! DANGER

Never put lubricants on the blade while it is spinning.

!WARNING

●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. NN)

The carbon brushe (3) that are provided will last approximately 50 hours of running time, or 10,000 ON/ OFF cycles. Replace carbon brushe

(3)when it less than 1/4 in. of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned. To inspect or replace brushes, first unplug the saw, and then remove the black plastic cap (1) on the side of the motor (2). Remove the cap carefully, because it is spring-loaded. Then pull out the brush and replace.

To reassemble, reverse the procedure. The ears on the metal end of the assembly go in the same hole in which

the carbon part fits. Tighten the cap snugly, but do not overtighten.

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.

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. Before each use, with the saw unplugged, check to make sure the lower guard moves smoothly when the cutting head is raised and lowered. If needed, clean any sawdust buildup with a damp cloth. Check to see if any of the link or pivot points need lubrication. If so, see lubrication instructions on page 41.

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