Official Hitachi miter saw parts

Common replacement parts for Hitachi miter saws

• Blade. The miter saw blade spins to cut through the work pieces with sharp teeth around the edge of the blade.
• Motor brushes. The motor brushes transfer electricity to the motor armature to turn the motor shaft. As the motor brushes wear out, the drive motor runs weakly or won't start at all.
• Power cord. The power cord supplies the miter saw electrical current from electrical outlet or extension cord.
• Trigger switch. The trigger switch allows you to start and stop the miter saw drive motor when cutting work pieces.

Replacing the motor brushes in your Hitachi miter saw

• Unplug the miter saw power cord from the electrical wall outlet to disconnect electrical power.
• Remove the brush caps using a screwdriver. The brush assemblies are spring loaded so the brushes will pop out once you remove the brush caps.
• Insert the new brush assemblies into the motor and reinstall the brush caps.
• Restore power to the miter saw.
