MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Disconnect the abrasive Cut-off saw from the AC power source eliminating any accidental starting of the motor.

Before using the Cut-off saw, a thorough inspection should be made. Check for the following:

1.Loose screws

2.Misalignment or binding of moving parts

3.Cracked or broken parts

4.Damaged electrical wiring

5.Cracked, chipped or bent Cut-off wheel

If any abnormal sounds are heard or abnormal smells or smoke is visible when Cut-off saw is started, DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY, TURN OFF SAW AND REMOVE IT FROM THE AC POWER SOURCE. These could be warn- ing signs of imminent DANGER. DO NOT USE CUT-OFF SAW IF ANY DAMAGE IS SUSPECTED. Failure to adhere to this WARNING could result in damage to the tool or severe injury or death to the operator.

CLEANING

Daily: Using a soft-bristled brush, cloth, or shop vacuum, remove all clippings, dust, or other debris around the Cut-off saw. Follow the cleaning by using premium light- weight machine oil and lubricate all movable parts.

DO NOT USE MACHINE OIL OF THE ABRASIVE CUT-OFF WHEEL. Machine oil will absorb into the abrasive material making up the wheel and potentially weakening it causing it to break. Should the Cut-off wheel break while it is in motion, pieces could fly off at high speed damag- ing the Cut-off saw, the workpiece or resulting in serious injury or even death to the operator.

MAINTENANCE

The abrasive Cut-off saw is virtually maintenance free. Closed-type, grease-sealed ball bearings are used throughout the Cut-off saw. These bearings are packed with grease at the factory and should last the life of the Cut-off saw. The only required maintenance is covered in the CLEANING Section above. If this particular model Cut-off saw is equipped with replaceable carbon brushes on the motor, there may become a time they need replacing. See Figure 16.

TO REPLACE THE CARBON BRUSHES:

1. Locate the brushes. They should be both sides of the motor housing at 180˚ degrees apart.

2. Use a slotted blade screwdriver and turn the brush caps counterclockwise.

3. Remove the caps, tension springs, and carbon brushes.

4. Place new carbon brushes into the openings.

5. Place the curved end of the brush into opening first, followed by a tension spring.

6. Insert the cap and, using a slotted blade screwdriver, tighten the caps by turning clockwise.

FIGURE 16. REPLACING

CARBON BRUSHES

Should the carbon brushes be worn more that 1/2 the original size, replace both brushes. Ensure the springs operate freely and the tension doesn’t cause armature of the motor to drag or make noise.

New carbon brushes may arc or spark until they wear slightly and conform to the armature of the motor. This is a normal occurrence.

TROUBLESHOOTING

To avoid any accidental starting of the saw, turn the switch to the “OFF” position, remove the safety key, and unplug the tool from the AC power source.

Should the motor fail to run, for any reason, call Alltrade Customer Service.
