LED brush-wear indicator
The LED Brush-wear indicator (16) provides early warning
that the carbon brushes within the tool require replacement.
When the carbon brushes are worn down, it will result in
a current drop creating inefficient motor power which can
result in costly repair.
The LED Brush-wear indicator
warns the user when a green
light appears on the LED display.
The carbon brushes must be
replaced soon. When the carbon
brushes are replaced, the next
time the tool is used the green
light will not appear. (Fig. Q)
CAUTION.
The carbon brushes should be replaced by a
qualified technician at an authorised service centre.
Lubrication
The grease in the gearbox will require replacement after
extensive use of the tool. Please refer to an authorised
