hours of running time or 10,000 on.off cycles Replace
both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4"
length of carbon remaining. To inspect or replace first
unplug the saw. then remove the black plastic cap on
the side of the motor (caution. this cap is spring loaded
by the brush assembly.). Then pul! out the brush.
Repeat for the other side. To reassemble reverse the
procedure The ears on the metal end of the brush
assembly go in the same hole the carbon part fits into.
Tqghtenthe cap snugly but do not overtighten
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure
the brushes go back in the way they came out. This will
avoid a break in period that reduces performance and
Increases wear
Lower Blade Guard
Do not use the saw without the lower guard. The iower
blade guard is attached to the saw for protection.
