3. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig. 44 and Fig. 45)
The carbon brushes in the motor are expendable parts.
If the carbon brushes become excessively worn, motor trouble might occur.
Therefore, inspect the carbon brushes periodically and replace them when they have become worn to the wear limit line as shown in Fig. 44.
Also, keep the carbon brushes clean so that they will slide smoothly within the brush holders.
The carbon brushes can easily be removed after removal of the brush caps (see Fig. 45) with a slotted (minus) screwdriver.

Guard
After extended use of the tool, sometimes the groove of the Guard
(C) becomes wider. It should be replaced in this case.
When replacing with a new one, loosen the four 4mm flat head screws and remove the Guard (C). After replacing, make a groove on it. Refer to “1. Cutting a groove on the guard” on page 13.
