CARBON BRUSHES

maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend

genuine Dremel replacement brushes specially
designed for your tool should be used.

MAINTENANCE OF REPLACEABLE BRUSHES

The brushes should be inspected frequently when
tools are used continuously. If your tool runs sporad-
ically, loses power, makes unusual noises or runs at a
reduced speed, check the brushes. To continue using
the tool in this condition will permanently damage
your tool.
To Remove Brush Door
Disconnect the tool from the power supply. Each
brush door is held in place by a snap latch. To
disengage latch, place screwdriver end of wrench

shown in Figure 1. With latch disengaged, using a
little force, pull up rear of door and lift away brush
door and spring assembly from housing, Figure 2.

each brush. If the brush is less than 1/8" long and the
