LUBRICATION
Ball bearings in the table saw are packed with grease at
the factory and require no further lubrication.
The carbon brushes included with the unit will last
approximately 50 hours of running time, or 10,000
ON/OFF cycles. Replace both carbon brushes when
either has less than 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) length of carbon
remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned.
1.
Remove the blade guard, blade, rip fence, miter
gauge and stand assembly from the table saw.
2. Lower the blade height to its minimum setting. This
will make the brushes’s location easier to access.
3.
Place cardboard or an old blanket on the oor to
protect the saw table surface.
4.
Place the saw upside down on the protective
material.
5.
Tilt the blade tilting handwheel to the 45° position.
6.
Remove the black plastic cap (1) from the side of the
motor (2).
7.
Carefully remove the spring-loaded cap, and then
pull out the brush (3) and replace.
8.
Replace the other side.
9.
The ears on the metal end of the assembly go
in the same hole the carbon part ts into. Do not
overtighten the plastic cap.
10.Carefully set the saw in a upright position on a clean
level surface.
11.Replace the blade guard, blade, rip fence, miter
gauge and stand assembly to the table saw.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, rst make
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.
