MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

WARNING

To avoid an accident or personal injury, always confirm the switch is turned OFF and that the power plug has been disconnected from the receptacle before performing any maintenance or inspection of this tool.

1. Inspecting the saw blade

Since use of a dull saw blade will degrade efficiency 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, re-tighten them immediately. Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.

3. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 23).

The motor employs carbon brushes which are consumable parts. Since an excessively worn carbon brush could result in motor trouble, replace a carbon brush with a new one when it becomes worn to or near the "wear limit". In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders.

4. Replacing a carbon brushes

Disassemble the brush cap with a minus-head screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then be easily removed (Fig. 24).

5. Maintenance of the motor

The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.

6. Lubrication

Lubricate the following sliding surfaces once a month to keep the power tool in good operating condition for a long time.

Use of machine oil is recommended.

Oil supply points:

* Rotary and moving portion of handle

7. Cleaning
