MAINTENANCE
DANGER
Never put lubricants on the blade white it is spinning.
To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use gasoline,
naphtha, acetone, lacquer thinner or similar highly
volatile solvents to clean the miter saw.
LOWER BLADE GUARD
Do not use the saw without the lower blade guard. The
lower blade guard is attached to the saw for yourprotection.
Should the lower guard become damaged, do not use
the saw until the damaged guard has been replaced.
Develop a regular check to make sure the lower guard is
working property. Clean the lower guard of any dust or
buildupwith a damp cloth.
CAUTION: Do not use solvents on the guard. They could
make the plastic"cloudy" and brittle.
To avoid injury from unexpected startingor electricalshock,
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. CC)
The carbon brushes furnished will last approximately 50
hours of running time, or 10,000 ON / OFF cycles. Replace
both carbon brushes when either has lessthan 1/4" 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). Remove the cap cautiously, because it is
sprlngloaded. Then pull out the brush and replace.
Repeat 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: To reinstallthe same brushes, first make sure the
brushes go back in the way they came out.This willavoid
a break-in pedod that reduces motor performance and
increases wear.
Fig. CC
When cleaning the lower guard, unplug the saw from the
power source receptacle to avoid unexpected startup.
SAWDUST
Periodically, sawdust will accumulate under the work
table and base. This could cause difficultyin the
movement of the worktable when setting up a miter cut.
Frequently blow out or vacuum up the sawdust.
If blowing sawdust, wear proper eye protection to keep
debris from blowing into eyes.
LUBRICATION
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 (see below).
Infrequent lubrication as required:
Chop pivot: light machine oil or aerosol will penetrate
from the ends and junction points.A qualified service
technician can remove the pivot upstop to relieve
tension, and the 2 metric set screws holding the shaft, in
order to drive the shaft about 3/4" right. Exposed
surfaces are lubricated with automotive type oil.
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 wilt
cling.
Bevel lock handle: Unscrew the handle assembly and
grease the threads.
Link: (which actuates the lower guard movement) may
be oiled at the rear pivot, greased at ball bearing contact,
and oiled where the link actuates the acetyl roller of the
lower guard, if the down chop motion is hard to start.
