1. Locate the brushes. They should be both sides of
the motor housing at 180˚ degrees apart.
2. Use a slotted blade screwdriver and turn the brush
caps counterclockwise.
3. Remove the caps, tension springs, and carbon
brushes.
4. Place new carbon brushes into the openings.
5. Place the curved end of the brush into opening
first, followed by a tension spring.
6. Insert the cap and, using a slotted blade
screwdriver, tighten the caps by
turning clockwise.
Should the carbon brushes be worn more that 1/2 the original size, replace both
brushes. Ensure the springs operate freely and the tension doesn’t cause armature
of the motor to drag or make noise.
New carbon brushes may arc or spark until they
wear slightly and conform to the armature of the motor. This is a normal
occurrence.

Daily: Using a soft-bristled brush, cloth, or shop vacuum, remove all clippings, dust,
or other debris around the Cut-off saw. Follow the cleaning by using premium light-
weight machine oil and lubricate all movable parts.

The abrasive Cut-off saw is virtually maintenance free. Closed-type, grease-sealed
ball bearings are used throughout the Cut-off saw. These bearings are packed with
grease at the factory and should last the life of the Cut-off saw. The only required
maintenance is covered in the CLEANING Section above. If this particular model
Cut-off saw is equipped with replaceable carbon brushes on the motor, there may
become a time they need replacing. See Figure 16.
