REPLACING CARBON MOTOR
BRUSHES
The carbon motor brushes will wear down
and require replacing. The time intervals
between replacements will vary depending
upon the torques being achieved and the
hours of use. It is recommended that the
brushes be checked after each 10 hours of
use. When the length of the carbon brush
reaches 1/4" (6.35 mm), the brushes
should be replaced.
WARNING:
Unplug the tool from the
power source.
1. Use a 3/16" (4 mm) slot screwdriver
and remove one brush cap (1)
(Fig. 9). Turn the brush cap counter
clockwise to remove it from the motor
housing.
2. Pull the spring & brush assembly (2)
from the brush holder (3) in the motor
housing (4).
3. Insert the new spring & brush
assembly into the motor housing.
4. Compress the spring into the brush
holder and thread the brush cap back
into the motor housing.
NOTE:
Make sure the brush cap threads
are not cross-threaded. Do NOT over
tighten.
5. Repeat steps 1 to 4 and replace the
second carbon brush located on the
opposite side of the motor housing.
