To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect it from power source
before cleaning or servicing, before installing and
removing accessories, before adjusting and when making
repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
KEEP MACHINE CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry
compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with
a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic
parts. Solvents may dissolve or otherwise damage the
material. Wear certified safety equipment for eye, hearing
and respiratory protection while using compressed air.
Empty dust bag frequently.
When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean clothes to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
The motor on this saw features externally accessible
brush assemblies that should be periodically checked for
wear. If the brushes need replaced, refer to Figure 25 and
proceed as follows.
1. Unplug the saw.
Failure to unplug the saw could result
in accidental starting causing serious
personal injury.
2. Using a screwdriver, carefully remove the brush
cap (A)
NOTE: Remove the cap slowly. The brush assembly is
spring-loaded and will pop out once the cap is removed.
3. Remove brush assembly (B).
4. Inspect both brushes. If either has less than 1/4 in.
length of carbon remaining, both brushes should be
replaced.
NOTE: Do not replace one side without replacing
the other.
5. Insert both brushes into the brush tube (C), making
sure the curvature of the brushes matches curvature
of motor. Brush assembly should move freely within
the tube.
6. Carefully replace the brush cap, being careful not to
strip the threads.
7. Tighten brush cap securely. Do not over tighten.
MAINTENANCE
solvents, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with
plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure because
the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to
bearings, brushes, commutator, etc. Consequently, we
do not recommended using this tool for extended work
on these types of materials. However, if you do work with
any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean
the tool using compressed air.
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.
