CARBON BRUSHES INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
1. The wear on the carbon brushes depends on how frequently and how
heavily the router is used. For general use, it is recommended to check the
brushes every 6 months.
2. The carbon brush caps are located on the front and back of the router.
To access the brushes, unscrew and remove the two brush caps with a flat
head screwdriver (Fig. 24).
3. Take out and inspect the carbon brushes (Fig. 25). If the brushes are
worn to under 1/4” in length, replace them with new carbon brushes and
then reinstall the brush caps.
NOTE: Always keep carbon brushes clean and ensure that they slide freely
in the brush holders. Double carbon brushes should be replaced at the
same time.
