REPLACING THE MOTOR BRUSHES

[Bob]

Do I have to disassemble the saw completely to replace the brushes?

Hi Bob, There should be no need to take the saw apart. The motor is accessible from the bottom of the saw. One thing you do need to confirm is whether your saw has a 13 or 15amp motor. The 13amp is discontinued and no parts are available for it. The 13 amp was replaced by a 15amp motor upgrade which is supported. The brushes for the 15amp motor are part #4540007 and are available from http://www.ereplacementparts.com. Good luck with your repair! -Mark
