square and thus aid the checking process.
If adjustment is required:
R165CCSL & 185CCS
Turn the adjustment screw (Fig. 31) clockwise
or counter clockwise using a 4mm Hex Key
(not supplied) until the blade is at exactly 90˚
to the sole plate.
R185CCSX & 185CCSX+
Turn the adjustment screws (Fig. 32) clockwise
or counter clockwise using a 3mm Hex Key
(not supplied) until the blade is at exactly 90˚
to the sole plate.
To check 45˚ position (R185CCSX & 185CCSX+ ):
• Set the blade to the 45˚ position with the
tilting mechanism against its stop.
• Check the blade against the sole plate
using an engineers precision square (not
supplied). Take care to avoid the TCT tips of
the teeth. The blade should be at exactly 45˚
to sole plate.
Turn the adjustment screws (Fig. 33) clockwise
or counter clockwise using a 3mm Hex Key
(not supplied) until the blade is at exactly 45˚
to the sole plate.
CHECKING AND REPLACING
(19)
THE CARBON BRUSHES
WARNING: Disconnect the machine from the
power supply before attempting to check or
replace the Carbon Brushes.
Note: Replace both carbon brushes if either
has less than 6mm length of carbon remaining,
or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned.
To remove the brushes:
• Unscrew the plastic caps found at the back
of the motor housing. (Fig. 34) Be careful as
the caps are spring-loaded.
• Withdraw the brushes with their springs.
• If replacement is necessary renew the
brushes and replace the caps.
Note: Used but serviceable brushes can be
replaced, but only as long as they are returned
to the same position, and
inserted the same way round as they were

before being removed from the machine.
• Run machines motor without load for
approximately 5 minutes. This will help the
new brushes to 'bed-in' and ensure that the
motor runs efficiently.
• Some sparking may be visible until the
brushes bed in fully.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
(20)
& CLEANING
Note: All maintenance must be carried
out with the machine switched off and
disconnected from the power supply.

are fully operational.
• All motor bearings in these machines are
lubricated for life. No further lubrication is
required.
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean
the plastic parts of the machine. Do not use
solvents or similar products which could
damage the plastic parts.
