MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Inspecting the saw blade
Since use of as dull saw blade will degrade effi ciency
and cause possible motor malfunction, sharpen or
replace the saw blade as soon as abrasion is noted.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
3. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 12)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable
parts. Since an excessively worn carbon brush can result
in motor trouble, replace the carbon brushes with new
ones having the same carbon brush No. ⓐ shown in the
fi gure when it becomes worn to or near the "wear limit" ⓑ.
In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensue
that they slide freely within the brush holders.
CAUTION
When replacing the new carbon brushes, always use
genuine HiKOKI carbon brushes with the number
specifi ed in the drawing.
4. Replacing carbon brushes
Disassemble the brush caps with a slotted-head
screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily
removed.
5. Replacing supply cord
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this
has to be done by the manufacturer of this agent in order
to avoid a safety hazard.
6. Motor unit maintenance
The motor winding is an important part of this tool. Avoid
damaging and be careful to avoid contact with cleaning
oil or water.
7. Inspecting and maintaining the lower guard

After 50 hours of use, clean the motor by blowing into the
ventilation holes of the motor housing with dry air from an
air gun or other tool (Fig. 13).
Dust or particle accumulation in the motor can result in
damage.
Always make sure that the lower guard moves smoothly.
In the event of any malfunction, immediately repair the
lower guard.
For cleaning and maintenance, use an air gun or other
tool to blow clean the space between the lower guard
and gear cover as well as the rotation part of the lower
guard with dry air (Fig. 13).
Doing so is eff ective for the emission of chips or other
particles.
Accumulation of chips or other particles around the lower
guard may result in malfunction or damage.
To prevent dust inhalation or eye irritation, wear
protective safety goggles and a dust mask when
using an air gun or other tool to clean the lower guard,
ventilation holes or other parts of the product.
