Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts
to wear quickly, and shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of
your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry,
compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure,
or visible sparking

• Always replace both brushes at the same time. A spare pair of brushes is
supplied
• To replace the brushes, remove the Motor Cover (5) and carbon brush holders
• Insert new carbon brushes and refit the brush holders and motor cover
• After installing new carbon brushes run the machine at no load for 15
minutes
