authorized service centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical

Carbon brushes
The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable
service.
In order to prepare your brushes for use, run your tool at full speed for 5 minutes under no load.
This will properly “seat” your brushes, which extends the life of both your br
ushes and your
tool.
To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend every 40 - 50 hours the
brushes be examined. Only Phalanx replacement brushes specially designed for your
tool should be used.
Maintenance of Replaceable Brushes
The brushes should be inspected frequently when tools are used continuously. If your tool
runs sporadically, loses power, makes unusual noises or runs at a reduced speed, check
the brushes.
CAUTION
Continue using the rotary tool in the condition will permanently damage
your tool.
Please follow these steps to check/change the rotary tool carbon brushes:
1. Make sure cord unplugged, place the rotary tool on a clean flat surface. Use a
screwdriver to remove the carbon brushes cover on housing. There are two
brushes located on each side.
