Replacing is the reverse of removal. Replace the brushes in the holders then put the
holders in place in the housing and secure the screws. When Replacing the handle
cover halves take great care that all wires are in place and not in a position to be
pinched when it is retightened. It is recommended that, at least once a year, you
take the tool to an Authorized Service Center for a thorough cleaning and
lubrication.
If the replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by
the manufacturer or their agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make sure the brushes go back in the way
they came out. Otherwise a break-in period will occur that will reduce motor
performance and increase brush wear.
NOTE: When putting the Carbon Brushes back into the Carbon Brush Holders it is
essential that both flanges go back inside the holder.
The carbon brushes furnished will last approximately 50 hours of running time or
10,000 on/off cycles. Replace both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4"
length of carbon remaining. To inspect or replace brushes, first unplug the machine.
Remove the hose clamp, then the right and left handle halves. Remove the 2
screws to remove the electronics unit and carefully hold it off to the side. Avoid
straining any of the wires. Remove each brush holder screw and brush holder in turn.
