NOTE:
When replacing the carbon brush with a new one,
be sure to use the Hitachi Carbon Brush Code No.

5. Replacing carbon brushes
Take out the carbon brush by first removing the
brush cap and then hooking the protrusion of the
carbon brush with a slotted-head screw driver, etc.,
as shown in Fig. 33, Fig. 34.
When installing the carbon brush, choose the
direction so that the nail of the carbon brush (Fig.
33) agrees with the contact portion outside the brush
tube (Fig. 35). Then push it in with a finger.
Lastly, install the brush cap.

brush into the contact portion outside the brush
tube. (You can insert whichever one of the two
nails provided.)
Caution must be exercised since any error in this
operation can result in the deformed nail of the
carbon brush and may cause motor trouble at an
early stage.
