Troubleshooting - Kawasaki 691783 Manual De Instrucciones

TO REPLACE THE CARBON BRUSHES:
1. Locate the brushes. They should be both sides
of the motor housing at 180˚ degrees apart.
2. Use a slotted blade screwdriver and turn the
brush caps counterclockwise.
3. Remove the caps, tension springs, and carbon
brushes.
4. Place new carbon brushes into the openings.
5. Place the curved end of the brush into opening
first, followed by a tension spring.
6. Insert the cap and, using a slotted blade
screwdriver, tighten the caps by
turning clockwise.
FIGURE 8. REPLACING
CARBON BRUSHES
Should the carbon brushes be worn more that 1/2 the original size, replace both
brushes. Ensure the springs operate freely and the tension doesn't cause armature
of the motor to drag or make noise.
New carbon brushes may arc or spark until they
wear slightly and conform to the armature of the motor. This is a normal
occurrence.

TROUBLESHOOTING

To avoid any accidental starting of the saw during trou-
bleshooting process, unplug the tool from the AC power source.
Should the motor fail to run, for any reason, call Alltrade Customer Service.
