Dust Duct Cleaning
Depending on your cutting environment, saw dust can clog the dust duct and may prevent
dust from flowing away from the cutting area properly. With the saw unplugged and the saw
head raised fully, low pressure air or a large diameter dowel rod can be used to clear the dust
out of the dust duct.
Brushes
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when
making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool, removing the motor endcap (Fig. 4),
lifting the brush spring and withdrawing the brush assembly. Keep brushes clean and sliding
freely in their guides. Always replace a used brush in the same orientation in the holder as it
was prior to its removal. If the brushes are worn down to approximately 1/2" (12.7 mm), the
springs will no longer exert pressure and they must be replaced. Use only identical D
brushes. Use of the correct grade of brush is essential for proper operation of electric brake.
New brush assemblies are available at D
E
to "run in" (run at no load) for 10 minutes before use to seat new brushes. The electric brake
may be erratic in operation until the brushes are properly seated (worn in). Always replace the
brush inspection cap after inspection or servicing the brushes.
While "running in" DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHER WISE LOCK THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON.
HOLD BY HAND ONLY.
