REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and must be replaced when they reach their wear limit.
CAUTION: Always replace the brushes as a pair.
To replace:
Remove the four screws and remove tail cover.
Using pliers, rotate the brush spring out of the way and slide old
carbon brush out of the brush holder.
Unscrew the screw to remove the brush lead. The old carbon
brush many now be lifted away.
Install a new brush. Installation is the reverse of removal.
Replace the motor tail cover.
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. It is recommended that, at least once a year, you take the
tool to an Authorized Service Center for a thorough cleaning and
lubrication.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, unplug the power
cord before working on the machine.
Keep the tool clean. Remove accumulated dust from working parts. Make sure that the tool operates properly.
Periodically check screws and bolts for tightness.
KEEPING TOOL CLEAN
Keep the machine and air inlet louver clean at all times to ensure correct and safe working. Under extreme
application conditions involving metal, dust can enter the interior of the machine. The protective insulation of
the machine can be adversely affected. In such cases the machine should be blown out regularly though the
air inlet louver. It is recommended that a vacuum attachment be used.
WARNING: To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs, with the exception of externally accessible
brushes, should be performed at an Authorized Service Center.
WARNING: 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.
Do not throw electric power tools into the household waste! In accordance with the European Directive
2002/96/EG on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and transposition into national law, used electric
power tools must be collected separately and recycled in an environmentally friendly manner
