English MAINTENANCE Brushes (Fig. 18) CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or removing or installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the switch is in the OFF position. Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging tool, removing the brush cap (OO) and withdrawing the brush assembly. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides. Always insert a replacement brush in the same orientation in the holder as the used brush was prior to its removal. Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped into their sides, and if the brush is worn down to the line closest to the spring, brushes must be replaced. Use only identical DEWALT brushes. Use of the correct grade of brush is essential for proper operation. New brush assemblies are available at DEWALT service centers. The tool should be allowed to "run in" (run at no load) for 10 minutes before use to seat new brushes. Transportation and Storage The rear water attachment (G), cutting cart water attachment (I) and water pan (K) may be nested together to make carrying easier (Fig. 19). The edge guide (J) and the cutting cart extension (PP) may also be stored in the underside of the water pan (Fig. 20). Cleaning 1. Insert the water pump into a bucket of clean water and pump the water through the hose system. 2. Turn off and unplug the saw from the power supply. 3. Place a 5 gallon bucket under the drain plug. Remove the drain plug and allow the water to empty into the bucket. 4. Slide the cutting cart off the rail system. Spray the cutting cart with a hose or wipe with a grout sponge or rag. 5. Wipe the rails, motor housing, and support arm with a grout sponge or a rag. Spray lubricants are not required on the guide rail or wheels. 6. Clean the water pan by spraying with a hose or wiping with a grout sponge. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Many household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage plastic. Also, do not use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry cleaning fluids or similar products. Try not to let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid. Lubrication WARNING: NEVER spray or in any other way apply lubricants or cleaning solvents inside the tool. This can seriously affect the life and performance of the tool and may result in personal injury. DEWALT tools are properly lubricated at the factory and are ready for use.
