Replacing the Carbon Brushes
After every 20 hours of running, it is necessary
to check the carbon brushes in the motor for
wear.
The carbon brushes must be replaced when the
carbon block has less than 5mm of material
remaining. Failure to replace them in time may
cause damage to the motor armature.
Remove the riving knife, blade guard and any
fences. Fully lower the blade and invert the
saw.
Tilt the blade to 45 degrees and lock into
position.
The two brush holders are located on the end of
the motor on either side.
Brush Holder
Use a flat screw driver, remove the plastic
brush cover cap.
Using pointed nose pliers or a small screwdriver
pull out the worn brush.
Check the length and condition of the carbon
block. If it is damaged or shorter than 5mm, it
should be replaced.
Insert the new brush and refit the cap.
Repeat for the second brush situated on the
opposite side of the motor.
