MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
When the resin insulating tip inside the carbon brush is exposed to contact the commutator, it will automatically shut off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.
