Use And Care Manual

1. First unplug the saw before inspecting
or replacing brushes.
2. Replace both carbon brushes when
either has less than 1/4” (6 mm) of
carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire
is damaged or burned.
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the
black plastic cap on each side of the
motor housing, and carefully withdraw
the spring-loaded brush assemblies.
Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in
their guide channels.
NOTICE: To reinstall the same brushes,
make sure the brushes go back in the same
way they came out. This will avoid a break-
in period.
4. Insert new brush assemblies into guide
channels, with the carbon part going in
first, being certain to fit the two metal
“ears” into their slots in the channel.
5. Remember to replace both end caps
after inspecting or servicing brushes.
Tighten the caps snugly, but do not
over-tighten.
6. The saw should be allowed to “RUN
IN” (run at no-load without a blade) for
5 minutes before use to seat the new
brushes properly.
