MAINTENANCE
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
Brush life will vary depending on the load placed on the motor. The brushes should be inspected every 10-15
hours of use. To inspect the brushes:
1.
Unplug power cable, put the switch to OFF and remove the safety key.
2. Remove the two Brush Holders. One is located on the front right of the motor housing, FIG. 12, the other
is located in the same position on the rear of the motor assembly. The brush holders can be removed using a
flat-head screwdriver.
3. Once the brush has been removed, inspect the carbon, the spring, and the wire.
4. If the carbon of either brush is worn down to 1/4” or less, both brushes should be replaced. Also, if the
spring or wire are burned or damaged in any way, both brushes should be replaced.
5. After inspection or replacement of the brushes, replace the brush holders.
6. Plug in the power cable and safety key when you are ready to resume planing.
