Section 6: Maintenance; Cleaning & Protecting; Replacing Brushes - Grizzly T27139 Owner's Manual

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Always DISCONNECT
before servicing, adjusting, or doing
maintenance to reduce the risk of
accidental injury or electrocution.
Cleaning & Protecting
Cleaning the Model
easy. Vacuum excess wood chips and
sawdust, and wipe off the remaining dust
with a dry cloth. If any resin has built up,
use a resin dissolving cleaner to remove it.
Inspect the router for loose parts, damaged
cord or switch, and inspect the bits for
chips or cracks. Replace the bit if it is worn
or damaged. Continuous use of a worn or
damaged bit will not only decrease work-
ing efficiency, but also overload the motor,
so the bit must be frequently checked.
With the exception of the motor brushes,
the electrical components of this router are
not user serviceable.
Contact our Technical Support at (570)
546-9663 for any repair work that requires
opening the motor housing and for replace-
ment parts.

Replacing Brushes

Motor brushes will become loaded with
carbon deposits or wear out over time.
Extend the life of the motor brushes by
removing them periodically and cleaning
off the carbon deposits.
If the motor will not run, makes squealing
or grinding noises, or performance is dra-
matically decreased, check to see if the
motor brushes need to be replaced. When
replacing the motor brushes, replace both
at the same time.
To replace motor brushes:
1. Remove motor brush caps on sides of
motor housing, as shown in Figure 21.
Figure 21. Example of replacing motor
brushes (1 of 2).
2. Replace motor brushes and re-install
caps.
