REPLACING CARBON MOTOR BRUSHES
The carbon motor brushes will wear down and
require replacing. The time intervals between
replacements will vary depending upon the type
of materials being cut and the hours of use. It is
recommended that the brushes be checked
after each 10 hours of use. When the length of
the carbon brush reaches 1/4" (6.35 mm), the
brushes should be replaced.
WARNING: Unplug the tool from the power
source.
1. Use a #1 screwdriver and remove the
screw (1) from the brush cover (2) in the
left handle (Fig. 10).
2. Use a small slot screwdriver and carefully
pry the brush cover out of the handle.
3. Use needle nose pliers and pull the outer
spade connector (3) off the inner spade
connector.
4. Use needle nose pliers to carefully lift the
brush spring (4) off the carbon brush (5).
5. Pull the carbon brush from the brush holder
(6).
6. Insert the new brush assembly into the
motor housing.
7. Reconnect the spade connector and place
the brush spring on top of the carbon brush
to hold it in place.
8. Reinstall the brush cover and brush cover
screw into the tool handle.
9. Repeat the above process and replace the
carbon brush on the opposite side of the
tool.
