2. Note the position of the power button and lock mechanism for proper orientation upon re-installation.(Taking a pic with my camera on phone is helpful if no schematic is available)
2. Once exposed I removed carbon brushes from seat with needle-nose pliers. The brushes are held in place with wind-up springs and require a small screwdriver to relieve the tension on the brush for removal, a delicate touch is required.
3. Installation is reverse of removal.
2. Pulled out old carbon brushes
3. Installed new carbon brushes
4. Replace cover
5. Done
2. During brush replacement, noticed wiring/connector connection from field winding was barely making contact.
3. Spliced old brush connector onto field wiring. Blade connector (blade type) used in field wiring is not easily obtained, so reused brush connector. Brush connector was the same connector used by the field winding.
4. Used heat shrink tubing to insulate splice.
5. Tested sander for proper operation.
New brushes were very long, installed easily and it all went back together and ran perfectly.
2. Removed top of grinder
3. Lifted motor out of grinder
4. Replaced brushes
5. Replaced motor
6. Closed bottom of grinder
Which makes it all sound easier than it was; for example, replacing the brushes meant holding the springs back, and putting the motor core back in meant pushing the brushes in.
Disconnect the brush wires
Pull the spring back
Insert the brush
Release the spring
Connect the wires
Replace the cover
