5.To clean or replace the Carbon Brushes: It may become necessary to clean or replace the two Carbon Brushes (26A) when the Motor performance de- creases, or stops working completely. The Carbon Brushes are located on each side of the Motor Housing (28A). To do so:

A.Remove the two Brush Caps (25A). Then, remove the two Carbon Brushes from the Brush Holders (27A).

B.If the Carbon Brushes are worn down more than 1/2, replace both Carbon Brushes. If, however, the Carbon Brushes are just dirty they may be cleaned by rubbing them with a pencil eraser.

C.When installing the Carbon Brushes, make sure the carbon portion of the Carbon Brushes contact the Armature (20A) assembly and the springs face away from the Motor. Also, make sure the springs operate freely.

D.After cleaning or replacement, replace the Brush Caps (25A).

E.New Carbon Brushes tend to arc or spark when first used until they wear and conform to the Armature assembly. (See Assy. Diagram.)

6.To clean the exterior/interior of the Planer: Use compressed air. Do not immerse any part of the unit in liquid.

7. CAUTION! All maintenance, service, or repairs not mentioned in this manual must only be performed by a qualified service technician.
