THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and must be replaced when they reach their wear limit. This
machine is equipped with auto-stop carbon brushes. If the machine comes to a stop unexpectedly, the brushes
should be checked. The auto-stop brush design protects the motor by stopping the machine before the carbon
brushes are completely worn out.
Caution: Always replace the brushes as a pair.
To replace:
1.
Remove the 4 screws and remove the motor tail cover.
2.
Using pliers rotate the brush spring out of the way and slide the old carbon brush out of the brush
holder.
3.
Unscrew the screw to remove the brush lead. The old carbon brush may now be lifted away.
4.
Install a new brush. Installation is the reverse of removal.
5.
Replace the motor tail cover. Take care not to pinch any wires when reassembling.
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.
