Maintenance

MAINTENANCE FOR BRUSHES
-
The
brushes in this tool
are
self-
li
miting. This
means that when
the
brushes are worn out,
they stop making contact with the commu-
tator and the tool
wi
ll stop running. This is
done
to eliminate
the
possibility of a piece of
the
brush
and/or
the spring getting loose
inside the too
l
when the brushes
are worn
out.
Just
prior to the tool
stopping it
will
start
to
run
sporadically,
lose power and may run at a
reduced speed
and
make unusual noises.
When
this occurs it is necessary to
return
the
tool
for
proper service.
