AWS-110 MAINTENANCE
DAILY
1. Before daily start-up inspect tool, power cord, GFCI, and Saw Blade, looking for chips
and cracks.
2. If damage has occurred, repair affected areas before use.
3. Connect the tool to the correct power source and test the Ground Fault Circuit Inter-

4. After daily use of the tool, clean and blow off the exterior of tool and around air intake

and bearings. Failure to do this will shorten the life of your tool, and could void your
warranty.
PERIODIC
Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of
internal wires and/or components which voids the warranty and could cause serious hazards.
We recommend that tool service and repairs not covered in the manual be performed by
an Alpha
®
Repair Center.
Periodic maintenance is done to check the tool and to minimize down time. These checks
are done based on hours of operation and operating conditions. Operating condition can
vary depending on the work surface and job being performed. If the tool is not used for a
long period of time the carbon brushes should be checked and the commutator cleaned,
before putting the tool back into operation.
BEARINGS AND GEARS
To minimize your tool’s downtime and expensive repairs, it is recommended to send the tool
back to an Alpha
®
Repair Center after about 300 to 400 hours of operation, or every second
carbon brush change. The bearings should be replaced and the gears should be checked.
If your tool starts to sound different, this could be an indication of a worn bearing. Continuing
to use to use the tool in this condition could result in overheating or motor failure.
