4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 25)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. Replace the carbon brush
with a new one when it becomes worn to its wear
limit. Always keep carbon brushes clean and
ensure that they slide freely within the brush
holders.
CAUTION: Using this router with a carbon brush
which is worn in excess of the wear
limit will damage the motor.
NOTE: Use HITACHI carbon brush No. indicated in Fig. 25.
Replacing carbon brushes:
Remove the brush caps (Fig. 1) with a slotted screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then
be easily removed.
SERVICE AND REPAIRS
All quality power tools will eventually require servicing or replacement of parts because of
wear from normal use. To assure that only authorized replacement parts will be used, all
service and repairs must be performed by a HITACHI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER,
ONLY.
NOTE:
Specifications are subject to change without any obligation on the part of the HITACHI.
