MAINTENANCE
BEFORE EACH USE
Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, make sure the sander has been disconnected from
the power supply. Keep all ventilation openings clean. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil and grease
REPLACE THE CARBON BRUSHES
(fig 7)
1. Disconnect the plug from the power supply.
2. Replace both carbon brushes when either
has less than 1/4” (6.4 mm) length of carbon
remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or
burned.
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the black
plastic cap on each side of the motor and
carefully withdraw the spring-loaded brush
assemblies.
4. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guide channels.
5. Insert new brush assemblies into the guide channels with the carbon part going in first, being
certain to fit the two metal “ears” into their slots in the channel. Remember to replace both end
caps after inspecting or servicing the brushes.
6. Tighten the caps snugly, but do not overtighten. The sander should be allowed to “run in” (run at no
load without a cutter bit) for 5 minutes before use, to seat the new brushes properly.

WARNING!
• Do not let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oil, etc., come into contact with
plastic parts. These substances contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
• To ensure safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by a qualified service technician.
• If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with an identical replacement part and be installed by an
authorized service technician.
