The brushes should be inspected frequently

OF ARROW TO OPEN

WARNING: Be aware that the brush

can fly out of tool toward eyes when

opening the brush holder lock.

"With the cord unplugged, use thumb

pressure or small screwdriver to depress the

brush holder lock and rotate the holder

(right-side down and left-side up;) slowly to

prevent the brush and spring from ejffcting

out of the holder• While rotating the holder slowly, you will begin to see the brush. Place

a finger over the brush while rotating the

holder, remove your finger slowly to reduce the spring tension.

CAUTION: Do no_ force the brush holder to rotate once you feel _t stop. To do so will

damage the tool.

If the brush is less than 1/8" long and the end

surface of the brush that contacts the

commutator is rough and/or pitted, they

should be replaced. Check both brushes.

Usually the brushes will not wear out

simultaneously. If one brush is worn out

replace both brushes, insert the spring

portion of the brush spring assembly into the

brush holder opening first. Make sure the

brushes are ins:ailed as illustrated. The

curved surface of the brush must match the curvature of the commutator.

After replacing brushes the _ool should be run at no-load;place it on a clean surface and run it freely for 5 minutes before loading (or using) the tool. This will allow the brushes to

"seat" properly and will give you more hours of life from each set of brushes. Thiswill also

extend the total life of your tool since the commutator surface will "wear _ longer.

BEARINGS - Moto-Tool Nos. 275 and 285 are

equipped wi_ oil impregnated sleeve bearings.

Model No. 395 have double ball bearing

construction. Under normal use neither type

requires additional lubrication.

CAUTION:

Any servicing of this tool (Excluding brush

replacement for Models 275. 285 and 395)

serve- _. representative.
