4. Place a small amount of dry lubricant on the bevel gear (2).
The worm gear (3) must be kept clean and free of sawdust,
gum, pitch, and other contaminants for smooth operations.
(Fig. dd)
NOTE: If excessive
looseness is observed
in any part of the
blade raising

mechanism
or tilting
mechanism,
take the
complete
unit to a
Service
Center.
LUBRICATION
All motor bearings are
permanently lubricated at
the factory and require no
additional lubrication. On all mechanical
parts of your table saw where a pivot or threaded rod are
present, lubricate using graphite or silicone. These dry
lubricants will not hold sawdust as would oil or grease.
REPLACING THE CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. ee, ff)
WARNING
Always disconnect the plug from
the power source before inspecting the brushes.
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. 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 brush locations easier to access.
3. Place cardboard or an old blanket on the floor to protect
the saw table surface.
4. Place the saw upside down on the protective material.
5. Tilt the blade elevation/tilting handwheel (1) to the 45°
position. (Fig. ee)
6. Remove the black plastic cap (2) from the side of
the motor (3).

7. Carefully remove the spring-loaded cap, and then pull out
the brush (4) and replace. (Fig. ff)
8. Repeat step 6 and 7 for the other side of motor.

9. Place the new brush into the opening of motor, making
sure the ears on the metal end of the assembly go in the
same hole the carbon part fits 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,
first make sure the brushes go back in
the same sides they came out. This will
avoid a break-in period
that reduces motor
performance and
increases
wear.
