LUBRiCATiON

All motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory and require no additional lubrication. On all mechanical parts of your table saw where a pivot or threaded rod are present, lubricate using graphite or silicone. These dry lubricants will not hold sawdust as would oil or grease.

REPLACING THE CARBON

rip fence, miter gauge and stand assembly to the table saw.

NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure the brushes go back in the same sides they came out. This will avoid a break-in period that reduces motor performance and increases wear.

[_ WARNING]

Always disconnect the plug from the power source before inspecting the brushes.

The carbon brushes included with the unit will last approximately 50 hours of running time, or 10,000 ON/OFF cycles. Replace both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned.

1.Remove the blade guard, blade, rip fence, miter gauge and stand assembly from the table saw.

2.Lower the blade height to its minimum setting. This will make the brushes's location easier to access.

3.Place cardboard or an old blanket

on the floor to protect the saw table surface.

4.Place the saw upside down on the protective material.

5.Tilt the blade elevation/tilting handwheel (1) to the 45 ° position.

6.Remove the black plastic cap (2) from the side of the motor (3).

7.Carefully remove the spring-loaded cap, and then pull out the brush (4).

8.Repeat step 6 and 7 for the other side of motor.

9.Place the new brush into the

opening of motor, making sure the ears on the metal end of the

assembly go in the same hole the carbon part fits into. Do not overtighten the plastic cap.

10.Carefully set the saw in a upright position on a clean level surface.

11 .Replace the blade guard, blade,
