Keep the tool clean. Remove accumulated dust from
working parts.
Make sure that the tool operates properly.
Periodically check screws and bolts for tightness.
Feed oil at the oiling points once a month for
extending machine service life (machine oil is suitable
for the saw).
Oiling point.
• Rotary part of shaft.
• Rotary part of vise.
• Slide way of vise.
Replacing carbon brushes
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 less
than 1/4" length of carbon remaining. To inspect or
replace brushes, first unplug the saw. Than remove
the back plastic cap on the side of the motor (caution,
this cap is spring loaded by the brush assembly) Then

Causa probable
1. Fuse
2. Brushes worn.
3. Other.
4. Low voltage.
Norma automatic brake working
properly.
1. Low voltage
2. Excesseve wheel pressure when
cultting.
1. Misalignment
2. Adjust downstop
1. Defective wheel
2. Work not positioned
3. Excessive wheel pressure
1. Lubrication needed.
2. Part failure.
3. Pivot spring or guard spring not
replaced properly after service.
4. Dirt sitcking to stops.
1. Sawblade not roun.
2. Sawblade damaged.
3. Sawblade loose.
4. Other.
1. Lube needed
pull out the brush. Repeat for the other side. To
reassemble reverse the procedure. The ears on the
metal end of the brush assemble go in the same hole
the carbon part fits into. Tighten the cap snugly but
do not overtighten.
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 operation conditions,
therefore no further lubrications is required (see
below).
Infrequent lubrication as required:
Chop pivot: light machine oil or aerosol will
penetrate from ends and junction points. Qualified
service technician can remove pivot upstop to
relieve spring tension in order to drive shaft about
3/4" right. Exposed surfaces are lubricated with
automotive type oil.
Acción correctora sujerida
1. 15amp time delay fuse, or circuit
breaker
2. See "Maintenance" section.
3. Check power supply for proper
voltage and correct as needed.
None
1. Check power supply for proper
voltage and correct as needed.
2. Pull wheel through work at a slower
pace.
See "Alignment" section
1. Replace immediately
2. Position work properly
3. Leesen wheel pressure
See "Lubrication" section
Inspect/clean stops
1. Sees "Basic saw operation" section
2. Replace or sharpen wheel
3. Replace with 14" Ø wheel designed
for the material being cut.
