MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
When the resin insulating tip inside the
carbon brush
is
exposed
to
contact the
commutator, it will automatically shut off
the motor. When this occurs, both carbon
brushes
should
be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush
holder caps. Take out the worn carbon
brushes, insert the new ones and secure the
brush holder caps.
