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
