Carbon Brush 1313113

1) Unplug saw (very important)
2) Remove plate
3) Remove blade
4) Unscrew the upper brush cap (you may need to lower the motor slightly if you have larger hands)
5) Remove old brush
6) Use compressed air to clean brush contact area
7) Insert new brush
8) Screw on brush cap while compressing brush spring with other hand (the most difficult part of the process)
9) From under the saw, do the same procedure (4-8) on the lower brush

Note: You do not have to invert the saw and remove the base, like some videos show (although this might make it easier for people who cannot lie on their backs).

The old brushes were about half the length of the new ones. The failure appears to be from the lack of spring pressure when they are shorter, not the lack of brush material. Also the buildup of sawdust on the armature can reduce the contact area. If you need to use the saw while waiting for new brushes, you may be able to get more life from the old ones by just removing them and cleaning the contact area with compressed air.

I removed the black pulley cover from the end of the motor and replaced the drive belt, then replaced the pulley cover. On the opposite side of the motor I removed the brush caps with a screwdriver, then removed the worn brushes and installed the new ones and replaced the brush caps. The motor runs like new now.

Removed the brush caps with a screwdriver, removed the worn brushes, placed the new brushes in the brush holders and screwed the brush caps back on. Removed the old switch and changed the wires on the back of it one at a time. Then pressed the new switch back in the housing.

Remove the brush caps, then the worn brushes, installed the new brushes and screwed the brush caps back in

Removed the brush caps with a screwdriver, then removed the old brushes. Installed the new brushes, then replaced the brush caps.

Remove blade and turn tables saw upside down, on floor, to be able to access motor brush on one side of motor. Remove cap covering brush with straight slot screwdriver. Replace brush and cap and upright tablesaw. Lower the motor, as you would lower the blade, untill you can reach the reverse side of the motor for the other brush. Remove cap with short stub straight slot screwdriver because of limited room for your hands, and replace brush. Reinstall with new brush and replace cap. Reinstall blade.

Unscrew caps and remove old brushes , keep in mind to see the orientation of the brushes.
replace cap snug.

Took out the old brushes and replaced. Motor working perfectly again.
