2. Remove the brushes from the tool by
pulling on the spring that is attached to the
carbon brush. If the brush is less than 1/8"
long and the end surface of the brush that
contacts the commutator is rough and/or
pitted, they should be replaced. Check
both brushes (Fig.
Usually the brushes will not wear out simul -
taneously. If one brush is worn out, replace
both brushes. Make sure the brushes are
installed as illus trated. The curved surface of
the brush must match the curvature of the
commutator. Also check that the brush caps
sit flush with the tool housing.
3. After replacing brushes the tool should be
run at no-load; place it on a clean surface
and run it freely at full speed for 5 minutes
before loading (or using) the tool. This will
allow the brushes to "seat" properly and
will give you more hours of life from each
set of brushes. This will also extend the
total life of your tool since the com mutator
surface will "wear" longer.
