Here is what one said:
"To clean it, you will need a small paint brush, screw driver either flat or crossed, then disassemble it. Loosen the screw and just be observant what you put apart. Then clean it. Good"
You may want to take it to a gas station and REALLY clean it out? OR a aerosol canned "AIR DUSTER" will be very useful too!
I don't know. Mostly such things are intuitive when somebody who is used to taking things apart just looks at them and handles them. Sometimes an ally housing needs a little heat to expand it in order to help ease things apart or remove a shaft complete with a bearing. Armatures are delicate and expensive but often some force is needed to remove them.
If you do an internet search for spare parts you will probably find an exploded diagram of your saw which might help.

The best thing to do for this fan, would be to blow compressed air into the motor housing to clean the insides of housing out. This is one of the few fans on the market which is designed to be taken apart and put back together (fairly) easily. You can totally disassemble it down to the component level, but I do not believe this is necessary unless you really want to. I disassemble them when I want to give them a good cleaning to spiff them up for market (I fix and repair Originals and re-sell them) If you do want to, I can explain how to do it, depending on the type of original you have it could be very simple, or it could be a little complicated. Message back with your actual fan model# and I'll let you know.
There are 6 screws, deeply recessed, in the rear of the fan case. (At least that is how they are on mine, phillips or cross head)
Once they are loosened, the front and back will come apart. I Do that annually so it can be thoroughly cleaned..
Otherwise, I use a toothbrush to fit between the slots to get most of the dust, also a paintbursh with stiff bristles for the outside grills.. Similar small brushes should work for loose dust. Also can blow out loose dust with a shop vac with blower capability.
Revolving blades in table fans pushes out air towards the front by creating a vacuum at the back of the induction motor. Other than providing air flow, the gush of air also cools the motor. Over time, esp if used in a polluted surrounding, dust collects inside the motor and causes friction in the shaft. If left for a prolonged period, this friction causes heat eventually drying up the lubrication, causing breakdown in the motor amature windings and also a leaky starting capacitor, thus slowing down rotation and also a complete failure.
2. Fans must be regularly taken apart, cleaned and lubricated. It is fairly easy if you are willing to learn. My India made Usha brand table fan is 48 years old and is still running smooth - just changed the start capacitor last year and my National ceiling fans are more than 35 years old.
3. In fact all moving parts in any equipment must be periodically taken apart, cleaned free of dust and grime and freshly lubricated. It will outrun your lifetime and serve the next few generations.
turn the motor housing slightly until you can put a screwdriver between the housing and diaphragm, pull on the one side and push with the driver and it will come apart, I just did one yesterday. To get the armature out of the fan bearing you will need a dead blow hammer to tap on the diaphragm while pulling on the armature. The bearing is held in place with 2 screws, hope this helps.
