Replacing carbon brushes
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 13)
First remove the holder by unscrewing the hex socket
head bolt. (Fig. 14)
Then loosen the hex socket head bolt that fastens the
barrel and turn the barrel counterclockwise. (Fig. 15)
Use a screwdriver to remove two screws then remove the
front cover. (Fig. 16)
Raise the arm part of the spring and then place it in the
recessed part of the housing with a slotted bit screw-
driver of slender shaft or the like. (Fig. 17)
Use pliers to remove the carbon brush caps of the car-
bon brushes. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert
the new ones and replace the carbon brush caps in
reverse. (Fig. 18)
Make sure that the carbon brush caps have fit into the
holes in brush holders securely. (Fig. 19)
Reinstall the front cover and tighten two screws securely.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
