Brush life varies. It depends on the load on the motor. Check the brushes after the first 50 hours of use for a new machine or after
a new set of brushes has been installed. After the first check, examine them after about 10 hours of use until a replacement is
necessary. To inspect the brushes:
MAINTENANCE
CHANGING THE BLADE
Use only cross-cutting saw blades.
When using carbide-tipped blades, do not
use blades with deep gullets as they can
deflect and contact the guard.
Use only 10" diameter saw blades which are
rated for 5200 rpm or higher and have 5/8"
diameter arbor holes.
1. Remove screw (A) Fig. 41 and rotate cover (B) to the rear
(Fig. 42).
2. To remove the saw blade, insert the hex wrench (C)
Fig. 43 into the hex hole located on the rear end of the
motor shaft to keep the shaft from turning.
3. Use a wrench (D) Fig. 44 to loosen the arbor screw (E) by
turning it clockwise.
4. Remove the arbor screw (E) Fig. 44, the outside blade
flange (B), and the saw blade from the saw arbor.
5. Attach the new saw blade
making certain that the teeth of
the saw blade are pointing down (Fig. 44). Place the
outside blade flange (F) on the arbor, and attach the arbor
screw (E) by turning it counter-clockwise using the wrench
(D). At the same time, use the hex wrench (C) Fig. 43 to
keep the arbor from turning.
6. Rotate the cover back to the front and replace the screw
that was removed in STEP 1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER SOURCE!
Remove wrenches (C) Fig. 43 and (D) Fig. 44
before starting machine.
The cover must be returned to its original
position and the screw tightened before
activating the saw. Failure to do so may
allow the guard to contact the spinning saw
blade resulting in damage to the saw and
severe personal injury.
