pull out the hold-down latch (SS) to raise the
cutting head at the maximum height. Release
the hold-down latch (SS) and tighten the

● The ears on the metal end of the assembly go in the same hole the carbon part ts into.
Tighten the cap snugly, but do not overtighten.
● Repeat for the carbon brush located on the other side of motor.
NOTICE: To reinstall the same brushes, rst make sure the brushes go back in the way they came
out. This will avoid a break-in period that reduces motor performance and increases wear.

water tube allowing the tube to be cleaned.
● Turn o and unplug the saw from the power source.
● Place a bucket under the drain plug. Remove the drain plug and allow the water to empty into
the bucket.
● Slide the edge guide o the rail system. Spray the Rip/Angle guide with a hose or wipe with a

cloth. Spray lubricants are not required on the rail or cutting wheel.
