Troubleshooting - Skil TS6307-00 Owner's Manual

Carbon Brushes
The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of
dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend every two to six
months the brushes be examined. Only genuine SKIL replacement brushes specially designed
for your tool should be used.
Bearings
Bearings that become noisy (due to heavy load or very abrasive material cutting) should be
replaced at once by a Service Center to avoid overheating or motor failure.
