THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and must be replaced when they reach their wear limit. Replace
both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4" length of carbon remaining.
Caution: Always replace the brushes as a pair.
To replace brushes:
1.
Remove the 5 long screws and 2 short screws to remove the left handle housing. (The two screws closest
to the motor are the short screws).
2.
Remove the 2 short screws to remove the right handle housing.
There will be wires which will remain attached. Take care not to
strain the wires.
3.
Unplug the female spade terminal from the brush.
4.
Unscrew the 2 screws to remove the brush holder. The brush will
come away together with the holder.
5.
Install the new brush into the brush holder with the male spade end
pointing toward the rear of the motor then screw the brush holder
in place.
6.
Reconnect the female spade terminal to the brush. Then repeat for
the other brush.
7.
Replace the right handle housing, then carefully place the switch in the correct position and arrange the
wires so that they will not be pinched.
8.
Replace the left handle housing, taking care to avoid pinching any wires and tighten the screws.
If the replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or
their agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
WARNING: All repairs must be entrusted to an authorized service center.
Incorrectly performed repairs
could lead to injury or death.
Do not throw electric power tools into the household waste!
In accordance with the European Directive 2002/96/EG on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and
transposition into national law, used electric power tools must be collected separately and recycled in an
environmentally friendly manner.
