Note: Always ensure the vacuum cleaner's dust bag is not too full. An overfilled dust bag will have
reduced dust collection efficiency which could result in poor dust control.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

This machine operates in a very harsh environment. The slurry created by wet cutting and the dust created
by dry cutting gets sucked into the motor's cooling slots and enters the motor. The slurry of brick and
concrete contains salts and other corrosive substances which will severely shorten the life of the motor or
cause electrical shorts if allowed to accumulate. Therefore, it's essential for the long life of the tool that it be
thoroughly cleaned after each use. Compressed air should be blown through the machine's cooling slots at the
back of the machine while the motor is running.

Daily Maintenance

1. Keep the machine clean
2. Check to ensure that the power supply cable is in good condition.
3. Ensure all screws are tight.
4. Check the condition of all safety equipment such as the blade guard
5. Check the blade for damage.

Carbon Brushes

The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and must be replaced when they reach their wear limit. This
machine is equipped with auto-stop carbon brushes. If the machine comes to a stop unexpectedly, the brushes
should be checked. The auto-stop brush design protects the motor by stopping the machine before the carbon
brushes are completely worn out.
Caution: Always replace the brushes as a pair.
To replace
1.
Remove the screw and remove the brush cover.
2. Using pliers rotate the brush spring out of the way and slide
the old carbon brush out of the brush holder.
3.
Unscrew the screw to remove the brush lead. The old
carbon brush may now be lifted away.
4.
Install a new brush. Installation is the reverse of removal.
5.
Replace the brush cover.
If the replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or
their agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
WARNING: All repairs must be entrusted to an authorized service center. Incorrectly performed repairs
could lead to injury or death.
