3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the
power tool. Exercise due care to ensure the winding
does not becomes damaged and/or wet with oil or
water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes (Fig.9)
The motor employs carbon brushes which are
consumable parts. When they become worn to or
near "wear limit", it could result in motor trouble.
When an auto-stop carbon brush is equipped, the
motor will stop automatically.
At that time, replace both carbon brushes with new
ones which have the same carbon brush Nos. shown
in Fig.9.
In addition, always keep carbon brushes clean and
ensure that they slide freely within the brush holders.
5. Replacing a carbon brushes (Fig.10)
Disassembly:
(1) Loosen the three machine screws, and remove the
handle cover.
(2) Remove the holder piece and lift the brush holder
gently with a screwdriver or the like, and remove it
from the housing while suppressing the carbon brush,
as shown in Fig.10. Be careful not to excessively pull
the lead wire.
(3) Remove the carbon brush from the brush holder.
Assembly
(1) Insert the new carbon brush into the brush holder.
(2) Insert the brush holder together with the carbon brush
into the brush holder chamber in the housing.
(3) Ensure that the lead wire and other parts are properly
positioned, and that there is no possibility of the lead
wire coming in contact with the armature or other
moving parts.
(4) Reinstall the handle cover while ensuring that the
Internal wiring does not become pinched between
the cover and the housing, and secure the handle
cover with the three machine screws.
CAUTIONS
Be sure to follow the above assembly procedures
exactly. Should the internal wiring contact the
armature or become pinched between the handle
cover and housing, a serious risk of electric shock to
the operator would be created.
Do not tamper with parts other than those necessary
to effect carbon brush replacement.

Due to HITACHI's continuing program of research and
