caps one at a time with a small screwdriver by

rotating cap counter-clockwise and check each brush

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 simul- taneously If one brush is worn out, replace both brushes Make sure the brushes are installed as illustrated The curved surface of the brush must match the curvature of the commutator.

After repladng brushes the tool 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 wi!l allow the brushes to "seat"

properly and will give you more hours of life from each set of brushes This wilt also

extend the total life of your tool since the com_ mutator surface will "wear" tonge_
