• Worn brushes frequently are the cause behind a motor running poorly.
• Replacing brushes can fix a motor that’s operating intermittently.
• New brushes can restore a motor’s electric braking.

Carbon brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool parts. This is because carbon brushes are wear items, meaning that through friction and use they will gradually wear away until they need replacing. Worn brushes are a common causes of intermittent motor function, reduced electric braking and reduced motor power. A worn-out brush will often be worn down near to the wire lead and can be cracked, pitted, or burned. When replacing carbon brushes, be sure to inspect your armature for burns, cracks, or other damage which can indicate larger motor problems.

Bad switch, needed brushes

I pressed on the tabs on the top and bottom of the bad switch to release it from the housing. I removed one lead at a time from the old switch to the new switch then pressed the switch back into the housing. To replace the brushes I removed the brush caps with a screwdriver, then remove the old brushes and inserted the new ones. I then screwed the brush caps back on.

Brake was not working

With a screwdriver, carefully remove the brush caps from the motor housing. Then remove the old brushes from the brush holder. If you have compressed air, now is a good time to clean out that area of the motor. Then insert the new brushes back into the holders and screw the brush caps back on.

Shipping

The product was an exact fit and worked as it should. The only negative part of the transaction was the shipping. I paid for expedited shipping, yet it took 10 days to receive the item. But that won't keep me from ordering again should the need arise.
