disconnect it from the power source before attempting to move it, change 
accessories or make anyadjustments.
Inspect carbon brushes regularly by unplugging the tool, removing the motor end cap 
 31 
 by 
removing the two screws that secure it, and removing the brush cap that holds the spring-loaded 
brush assembly. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides. Always replace a used 
brush in the same orientation in the holder as it was prior to its removal. If the brush is worn 
down to approximately 1/2" (12.7 mm), the spring will no longer exert pressure and they must 
be replaced. Use only identical 
 brushes. Use of the correct grade of brush is essential 
for proper operation of electric brake. New brush assemblies are available at 
 service 
centers. The tool should be allowed to “run in” (run at no load) for 10 minutes before use to seat 
new brushes. The electric brake may be erratic in operation until the brushes are properly seated 
(worn in). Always replace the brush inspection cap after inspection or servicing thebrushes.
While “running in” DO NOT TIE, TAPE, OR OTHER WISE LOCK THE TRIGGER SWITCH ON. HOLD BY 
HANDONLY.
