MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs — with the exception of the externally accessible brushes — should be performed by a qualified service technician at a Ryobi Authorized Service Center to avoid risk of personal injury.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
See Figure 27.
Your saw has externally accessible brush assemblies that should be periodically checked for wear.
Proceed as follows when replacement is required:
■Unplug your saw.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your saw could result in accidental starting causing serious injury.
■Remove brush cap with a screwdriver. Brush assembly is spring loaded and will pop out when you remove brush cap.
■Remove brush assembly.
■Check for wear. Replace both brushes when either has less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining. Do not replace one side without replacing the other.
■Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that brush moves freely in brush tube.
■Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and replace.
■Tighten brush cap securely. Do not overtighten.
