2. Measure the commutator diameter a.
Replace the armature if below specifica-
tion.

Commutator standard diameter a:
29.0 mm (1.14 in)
Wear limit: 28.0 mm (1.10 in)
3. Measure the commutator undercut b.
Commutator standard undercut b:
0.5–0.8 mm (0.02–0.03 in)
Wear limit: 0.2 mm (0.01 in)
4. Check
