Brush inspection, fig. 6
If the machine is new, check the carbon brushes after
the first 50 operating hours or if a new brush has been
mounted. After the initial check, check every 10 oper-
ating hours.
If the carbon is worn down to a length of 6 mm, or the
spring or the shunt wire is burnt or damaged, both
brushes must be replaced. If the brushes are found to
be usable after removal, they can be reinstalled.
1.
To service the carbon brushes, open both locks
(as shown in figure 6) counter-clockwise.
2.
Then remove the carbon brushes.
3.
Re-insert the carbon brushes in reverse order.
