Page 19: Replacing And Checking The Carbon Brushes
REPLACING AND CHECKING THE CARBON BRUSHES In order to keep your tool running correctly, you need to check your carbon brushes after every one hundred hours (100 hrs) of use. Carbon brushes wear out over time based on tool’s usage. If a carbon brush is worn out, it may cause the motor to malfunction or fail to run. The carbon brushes should be replaced when they are worn down to a quarter of an inch (1/4”) in size. - Page 20 Check the carbon brush for wear. Replace if worn down to a 1/4" or if spring is damaged. New Carbon Brush Figure-25 Old Carbon Brush worn down to a quarter of an inch (1/4”). Install new carbon brush with the proper alignment of the brush holder followed by the cap as shown in Figure 26.
- Page 21 Note: If you notice any resistance while tightening the carbon brush cap, it is an indication that the top plate on the carbon brush assembly is sticking inside the brush cap. Continuing to tighten will damage the carbon brush spring. (Go to step 6 to correct this problem) 5.
