MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
Replacing saw blade
Continuing to use
a
dull and worn blade may cause motor overload and decreased cutting
efficiency. Replace with a new blade as soon as it is no longer effective.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes
regularly. Replace when they wear down
to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes
clean and free to slip in the holders. Both
carbon brushes should be replaced at
the same time. Use only identical carbon
brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush
holder caps. Take out the worn carbon
brushes, insert the new ones and secure
the brush holder caps.
