MOTOR CARBON BRUSHES:
The motor uses carbon brushes, which may require replacing. Carbon brushes wear out over time and
could create motor trouble. Regularly inspect brushes after 100 hours of use. Keep carbon brushes free and
clear of debris, and replace worn parts when necessary. Brushes are located on either side of cut off saw
motor.
- Unscrew the black plastic cap at the side of the motor and then remove the cap cautiously, because the
carbon brushes are spring loaded.
- Press the spring to release the carbon brushes.
- Take off each carbon brush check it and replace it if necessary. Replace both carbon brushes also if only
one is worn out.
- Position the carbon brushes in the motor.
- Screw the plastic cap back at the side the motor.
Run the machine for about 5 - 10 minutes to allow the carbon brushes to adapt to their position. If these
are not correctly assembled, the motor can be seriously damaged. While the carbon brushes adapt to their
position you can notice sparks coming out of the motor: this is normal for new carbon brushes.
