• Release the on/off switch after cutting and
move the machine up gently.
• Only remove the workpiece when the cutting
disk has stopped running completely.
Don't apply excessive force on the
handle when cutting, the blade and
machine will wear out faster and it does
not result in faster cutting.
Inspecting and replacing the carbon brushes
The motor has 2 carbon brushes which will wear
out during use. It's important to check the status
of the carbon brushes, a worn-out carbon brush
might result in bad performance and motor
damage.
Removing carbon brushes
Fig B.
• Ensure the mains plug is removed from the
wall socket.
• Remove the carbon brush cover (8).
• Remove the carbon brushes by gently pulling
the spring.
• Check wear on the brush block, when less
than 6mm is left the carbon brush is worn out
and needs to be replaced immediately.
• Repeat on the other side.
Inserting carbon brushes again
Fig B.
• Ensure the mains plug is removed from the
wall socket.
• Insert the carbon brushes and push the spring
back in place.
• Add the carbon brush cover (8) while keeping
the spring pushed, and turn the cover
clockwise.
• After both carbon brushes are re-installed, test
if machine is running smoothly without sparks.
Always replace both carbon brushes.
