8.1 Cleaning the machine
.
The metal-cutting circular saw should always be thor-
oughly cleaned after use.
Cleaning and maintenance table
Brush or wipe off all open machine parts with a brush or
cloth at regular intervals.
Treat bare metal work surfaces with anti-corrosive spray.
8.2 Changing the carbon brushes
The carbon brushes are subject to normal wear and
must be replaced when they reach their end-of-life.
The machine is equipped with a self-disconnecting brush
type. In other words, the motor will no longer run after
reaching the wear limit. For this reason, the carbon
brushes first need to be checked and possibly replaced if
the machine unexpectedly fails to start.
Proceed as follows:
Step 1: Unscrew and remove the brush caps with a suit-
able screwdriver.
Step 2: Pull the carbon brushes out of the holder.
Step 3: Insert the brushes.
Step 4: Replace the brush caps and screw them back
down.

8.3 Changing the power supply cable
ATTENTION!
- Never use solvents for cleaning plastic parts or
painted surfaces. This may cause the surface to
disintegrate and cause consequential damage.
ATTENTION!
All moving parts must be free of dirt and dust and
regularly greased or oiled (e.g., bolts).

Daily before use
Check the saw blade; replace if
needed.
ATTENTION!
- Never remove chips or grinding dust with your bare
hands. There is a risk of cuts through sharp edged
chips!
- Never remove chips or grinding dust with a com-
pressed air gun. This can lead to eye injuries and
damage machine components.
NOTE!
Always replace the carbon brushes as a pair.
NOTE!
If you only removed the carbon brushes for inspec-
tion, make sure that you reinsert them at the same
position and in the same order. Otherwise this will
cause reduced performance and increased brush
wear.
DANGER!
Risk of fatal injury through electric shock!
To reduce the risk due to electricity, work on the
power supply cable may only be performed by the
manufacturer or an authorised professional work-
shop.
