LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication
is required.

BRUSH REPLACEMENT

See Figure 12, page 19.
The cut-off machine has externally accessible brush
assemblies that should be periodically checked for wear.
Proceed as follows when replacement is required:
 Unplug the cut-off machine.
 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.
