Set of 2 Carbon Brushes with wire leads and brush springs attached. The set contains genuine Makita replacement parts, and comes packaged in a Makita retail box. This brush set will fit the Makita tools listed at the bottom of the page. • Worn brushes are frequently the cause of a poorly running motor. • Replacing brushes can fix an intermittently operating motor. • New brushes can restore a motor's electric braking. Carbon motor brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool parts. The reason is that carbon brushes are wear items, meaning that through friction and use they will gradually wear away and eventually will 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, also check your armature for burns, cracks, or other damage which are indications of a larger motor problem needing attention.
Checked the motor brushes, they were worn very small. Removed the brush caps, then removed the worn brushes, then installed the new brushes. Then installed two new brush caps. Motor started working like it should.
Remove brush caps with a screwdriver from both sides of the motor housing. Remove the worn brushes, make sure the brush holder is clean inside. Install the new brushes and install the brush caps.
Simply took the model number off my Makita chop saw, ordered ten bucks worth of parts and a couple days later received the parts and completed the repair. a few twists with a screw driver removes the retainer for each brush.
Good as new
A happy ending
