REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. 46)
The carbon brushes (G) furnished will last

sure the brushes go back in the way they came out.
This will avoid a break-in period that reduces motor
performance and increases wear.
LOWER BLADE GUARD (FIG. 47)
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 blade 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.
ŏ
Do not use solvents on the guard. They could
make the plastic cloudy and brittle.
ŏ
When cleaning the lower guard, unplug the saw
to avoid unexpected start-up.
