MOTOR BRUSH INSPECTION
/REPLACEMENT
To Inspect or Replace Brushes:
1 . Unplug the saw .
2 . Remove the brush cap on the motor using a
wide flat blade screwdriver.
NOTE: The brush cap is spring loaded by the
brush assembly .
3. Pull out the brush (Fig. 12). Repeat for the
opposite side.
NOTE: If reinstalling the existing brush or
brushes, make sure the brush goes in the
same way it came out . Otherwise a break-in
period will occur that will reduce motor perfor-
mance and increase brush wear.
4 . Install new brush . The two tabs on the brush
terminal go in the same hole the carbon part
fits into.
5. Tighten the brush cap but do not overtighten.
