ponents that should be recycled. Please take this product to your local recycling facility for responsible disposal and
to minimize its environmental impact.
CARBON BRUSH REPLACEMENT
The wear on the carbon brushes depends on how frequently and how
heavily the tool is used. If you see excessive sparks during operation or
if the tool stops working, inspect the brushes and replace them.
Replacement carbon brushes (Part No. 6362-040) can be ordered from
wenproducts.com. Only genuine WEN replacement brushes designed
specifically for your tool should be used.
1. To inspect the brushes, open the carbon brush covers (Fig. 7 - 1)
by turning them counterclockwise with a flat-head screwdriver (not in-
cluded).
2. Take out and inspect the carbon brushes (Fig. 8). If the brushes are
worn to under 1/8 inch in length, replace them with new carbon brush-
es. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time.
3. Reinstall the brush caps.
