REPLACING AND CHECKING THE CARBON BRUSHES
In order to keep your tool running correctly, you need to check your carbon brushes after
every one hundred hours (100 hrs) of use. Carbon brushes wear out ove\
r time based on
tool’s usage. If a carbon brush is worn out, it may cause the motor to malfu\
nction or fail
to run. The carbon brushes should be replaced when they are worn down to a quarter of
an inch (1/4”) in size.
