8. CHANGE OF THE TRIMMING HEAD BASE
WARNING! Disconnect the machine from the
power supply before this operation.
The machine is delivered from factory with the
trimming head base d.20 for bits of 3 mm radius.
When working with a bit 6 mm radius it will be
necessary to change this base for the one d.26.
If a bit 8 mm radius is used the standard base
must be replaced for the one d.30. Both extra
bases are included as standard equipment with
the machine.
To change base M, fi rst remove the dust collector
connection L, by unscrewing knob N (Fig. 7). Once
connection L has been removed, unfasten screws
P to remove base M and fi t the appropriate base
for the bit you are going to use. Next, fi t the dust
collector connection L by screwing in knob N.

Remove screws F (Fig. 5) that fasten the side co-
vers and detach both. Remove the brush-holder I
(Fig. 6) with small screwdriver H, using one of the
brush-holder side tabs to lever it out. Push back the
end of spring J. Keep it in this position to extract the
brush and replace it with a new genuine VIRUTEX
brush. Reinsert the brush-holder, ensuring that it
is fi rmly positioned in the casing and that each of
the brushes exerts a small amount of pressure
on the collector. Re-attach the covers G with the
corresponding screws, making sure that no wires
get caught in the process. Mount the springs and
cap as already indicated above. It is advisable to
run the machine for 15 minutes after changing the
brushes. Should the commutator show burnings or
scratches it is better to resurface it on a lathe at a
VIRUTEX service. Never use abrasive paper to do
so. Keep the cable and socket in good condition.
