WARNING
J
Never put lubricants on the abrasive wheel while it
is spinning. To avoid fire or toxic reaction, never use
gasoline, naphtha acetone, lacquer thinner or similar
highly volatile solvents to clean the chop saw.To avoid
injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock,
unplug the power cord before working on the tool. To
avoid electrical shock, fire or injury, use only parts
identical to those identified in the parts list. Reassemble
exactly as the original assembly to avoid electrical
shock.
REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (FIG. O)
NOTE:Before replacing carbon brushes, make sure the
machine has be disconnected from the power source.
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/_ in. length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire
is damaged or burned.
,
,
To inspect or replace brushes, first unplug the tool.
Then remove the black plastic cap (1) on the side of
the motor (2).
Remove the cap cautiously because it is spring-
loaded. Then pull out the brush assembly and
replace the new one. Repeat for the other side. To
reassemble, reverse the procedure. The ears on
the metal end of the assembly go in the same slots
the carbon part fits into. Tighten the cap snugly, but
do not overtighten.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first 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.
