GENERAL MAINTENANCE
1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for loose hardware, misalignment
or binding of moving parts, damaged cords or electrical wiring, cracked or broken parts, and any
other conditions that may affect its safe operation.
2. After every operation, use a vacuum to remove dust and chips from the tool and work area. Wipe
the tool clean with a soft cloth. Make sure water does not get into the tool.
CAUTION: Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents. Do
not use any solvents or cleaning products that could damage the plastic parts.
3. Keep the ventilation openings free from dust and debris to prevent the motor from overheating.

WARNING:
To avoid accidents, make sure the power switch is in the OFF position and
unplug the tool from the electrical outlet before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
Servicing of the tool must be performed by a qualified technician.
CARBON BRUSH REPLACEMENT (FIG. 6 & 7)
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. 94396-029) can
be purchased 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. 6 - 1) by turning them counterclockwise with a flat-head
screwdriver (not included).
2. Take out and inspect the carbon brushes (Fig. 7). If the
brushes are worn to under 1/8 inch in length, replace them
with new carbon brushes. Both carbon brushes should be
replaced at the same time.
3. Reinstall the brush caps.
