8. Use the Track Tension Adjusters to control
movement resistance of the saw along the
track. Set them to equal tension at the
maximum level that allows smooth
movement along the track. This will reduce
or eliminate sideways movement for more
precise cuts and improved safety.
NOTE: Make sure the blade does NOT
contact the workpiece.
9. Turn the saw ON and slide the saw to cut.
GENERAL
WARNING: When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts. The use of any
other part may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
DO NOT use solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may
be damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.
WARNING: Do not allow brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. to come into contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals
that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices
can damage the tool and the workpiece.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to modify
tools or create accessories. Any such
alteration or modification is misuse and
could result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible serious injury. It will also
void the warranty.
It has been found that electric tools are
subjected to accelerated wear and possible
premature failure when they are used on
fiberglass boats and sports cars, wallboard,
spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and
grindings from these materials are highly
abrasive to electric tool parts such as bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is
not recommended that this tool be used for
extended work on any fiberglass material,
wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster.
During any use on these materials it is
extremely important that the tool is cleaned
frequently by blowing it out with an air jet.
WARNING: Always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with side shields
during all cutting operations. It is critical that
you also wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields and a dust mask
while blowing dust out of the circular saw
with an air jet. Failure to take these safety
precautions could result in permanent eye or
lung damage.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with
a sufficient amount of high-grade lubricant for
the life of the unit under normal conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
REPLACING CARBON MOTOR BRUSHES
The carbon motor brushes will wear down
and require replacing. The time intervals
between replacements will vary depending upon
the hours of use. It is recommended that the
brushes be checked after each 10 hours of use.
WARNING: Unplug the tool from the
power source before replacing brushes.
1. Use a Philips (+) cross screwdriver (1) and
remove the motor rear cover. (Fig. 18)
2. Remove the brush clamp plate (2).(Fig.19)
3. Remove the carbon brush connection wire
(3) from brush terminal (4).(Fig.20)
4. Remove the carbon brush holder (5) with
the carbon brush from the motor housing
(6). (Fig.21)
5. Remove the carbon brush (6) from the
brush holder (5).(Fig.22-23)
6. Reverse the process above to insert the
carbon motor brushes back into the tool
