REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES

WARNING: For your safety, always turn off the switch and unplug the saw

from the power source before performing any maintenance or cleaning.

Unplug the saw before inspecting or replacing brushes.

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.

Using a slotted

screwdriver, remove

the black, plastic cap

on each side of the

motor (Fig. 20), and

carefully withdraw the

spring-loaded brush

assemblies. Keep

brushes clean and

sliding freely in their

guide channels.

NOTE: To reinstall the

same brushes, make sure

that the brushes go back

in the same way they came out. This will avoid the need for a “run-in” period.

Insert new brush assemblies into the guide channels with the carbon part

going in ﬁrst, being certain to ﬁt the two metal “ears” into their slots in

the channel (Fig. 20).

Remember to replace both end caps after inspecting or servicing

brushes. Tighten the caps snugly, but do not over-tighten. Before use, the

saw should be allowed to “RUN IN” (run at no load without a blade) for 5

minutes to seat the new brushes properly.
