Maintenance
WARNiNG: For your own safety, turn the switch off and re-
move the plug from the power source outlet before maintain-
ing or lubricating your mitre saw.
General Maintenance
Occasionally use a cloth to wipe off chips and dust from
the machine. Oil the rotary parts once a month to extend
the tool life. Do not oil the motor.
Brush inspection
Check the motor brushes after the first 50 hours of use
for a new machine or after a new set of brushes have
been installed. After the first check, examine them every
10 hours of use.
When the carbon is worn to 6 mm in length or if the
spring or shunt wire is burned or damaged, replace both
brushes. If the brushes are found serviceable after remov-
ing, reinstall them.
m
Electrical connection
the installed electric motor is completely wired ready for
operation.
the customer’s connection to the power supply system, and
any extension cables that may be used, must conform with
local regulations.
important remark:
The motor is automatically switched off in the event of
an overload. The motor can be switched on again after a
cool ing down period that can vary.
Defective electrical connection cables
Electrical connection cables often suffer insulation dam-
age.
Possible causes are:
• Pinch points when connection cables are run through
window or door gaps.
