1.
2.
3.
Unplug the router motor before inspecting or replacing brushes.
Replace both carbon brushes when either has less than 1/4-in. length of
carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned.
Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the black plastic cap on each side of
the router motor (Fig. 18) and carefully withdraw the spring-loaded brush
assemblies. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guide channels.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, make sure that the brushes go back in the
same way they came out. This will avoid the need for a break-in period.
4.
Insert new brush
assemblies into the
guide channels with
the carbon part going
in first, being certain to
fit the two metal "ears"
into their slots in the
channel (Fig. 18).
5. Remember to replace
both end caps after inspecting or servicing brushes. Tighten the caps snugly,
but do not over-tighten. The router should be allowed to "run in" (run at no
load without a cutter bit) for 5 minutes before use to seat the new brushes
properly.
A_, WARNING: For your safety, always turn off the switch and unplug the router
motor from the power source before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high-
grade lubricant for the life of the tool under normal operating conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
