MAINTENANCE
i_ WARNING i
Never put lubricants on the blade while it is
spinning.
,_ WARNING
• To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use
gasoline, naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner
or similar highly volatile solvents to clean
the miter saw.
= To avoid injury from unexpected starting
or electrical shock, unplug the power cord
before working on the saw.
= For your safety, this saw is double
insulated. To avoid electrical shock, fire
or injury, use only parts identical to those
identified in the parts list. Reassemble
exactly as the original assembly to avoid
electrical shock.
REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. JJ)
Replace both carbon brushes when either has
less than 1/4 in. length of carbon remaining, or
if the spring or wire is damaged or burned. To
inspect or replace brushes, first unplug the saw.
Then remove the black plastic cap (1) on the side
of the motor (2). Carefully remove the spring-
loaded cap. Then pull out the brush and replace.
Replace for the other side. To reassemble,
reverse the procedure. The ears on the metal
end of the assembly go in the same hole the
carbon part fits into. Tighten the cap snugly, but
do not overtighten.
NOTE: When reinstalling the same brushes,
put them back in the way they came out. This
will avoid a break-in period that reduces motor
performance and increases wear.

I,A WARNING]
• Do not use solvents on the guard. They
could make the plastic "cloudy" and
brittle,
• When cleaning the lower guard, unplug the
saw from the power source receptacle to
avoid unexpected start-up.
SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the
worktable and base. This could cause difficulty in
the movement of the worktable when setting up a
miter cut. Frequently blow out or vacuum up the
sawdust.
l,_ WARNING]
if blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection
to keep debris from blowing into eyes.
LUBRiCATiON (FIG. KK)
All the motor 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.
Lubricate the following as necessary:
Chop pivot: Apply light machine oil to points
indicated in illustration.
Central pivot of plastic guard: Use light
household oil (sewing machine oil) on metal-to-
metal or metal-to-plastic guard contact areas
as required for smooth, quiet operation. Avoid
excessive oil, to which sawdust will cling.
Link: (actuates lower guard movement) If down
chop motion is hard to start, oil link at two screws
(1).

LOWER BLADE GUARD
Do not use the saw without the lower blade
guard. The lower blade guard is attached to the
saw for your protection. Should the lower guard
become damaged, do not use the saw until
the damaged guard has been replaced. Check
regularly to make sure the lower guard is working
properly. Clean the lower guard of any dust or
buildup with a damp cloth.
