Maintenance; Replacing Carbon Brushes; Parts Diagram & Parts Lists - King Canada 8385NS Instruction Manual

MAINTENANCE

All the ball bearings are sealed and lubricated for life and will require no
maintenance.
Cleaning
• After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the tool with cloth or the like. Keep
the blade guards and covers clean . Lubricate the sliding portions with machine
oil to prevent rust.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other maintenance
or adjustment should be performed by your nearest authorized service center.

REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly (normally after 50 hours of use).
The carbon brushes are installed inside the motor housing. Using a screwdriver,
remove the 2 pan head screws (B) Fig.22 that hold the motor housing cap (A) in
place.
Once the motor housing cap is removed, to release the carbon brush (B) Fig.23
from the holder, lower the retaining spring (A). Disconnect the carbon brush wire
(C) from the terminal, remove the carbon brush from the motor housing and
inspect it. Repeat this step for the second carbon brush. Carbon brushes need to
be replaced once they wear down to the limit mark, see Fig.24. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
If they have worn down to the limit mark, purchase a set of identical replacement
carbon brushes (both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time).
Insert new carbon brushes into the holders, connect them to the terminals,
reposition the retaining spring and reinstall the motor housing cap using the 2 pan
head screws.
