Grizzly G0759 owner manual Motor Service, To inspect and replace the motor brushes

Motor Service

The bearings inside the motor are shielded and lubricated for the life of the bearing and require no routine maintenance.

This motor is equipped with long life carbon brushes. Brush life expectancy is affected by motor loading. Heavy motor loading will result in reduced brush life. If you notice a loss in power or if the motor becomes excessively noisy, inspect the brushes. If the brushes are worn down to 1⁄4'' (6mm) or less, it is time to replace them. When checking brushes, be sure to return each brush to the same hole in the same direction that it came from. When replacing old brushes, replace both brushes at the same time.

Tools Needed:	Qty
