This replacement carbon brush is a genuine OEM authorized replacement designed for use with trimmers/edgers. This carbon brush is sold individually. Please note, brush holders and springs are sold separately. Carbon brushes are a commonly replaced part on power tools. Due to friction and normal use brushes will gradually wear down and will require replacement. It is advised to replace both brushes at the same type. You would need a screwdriver to complete this job. • Make sure the unit is unplugged • First remove the screws holding the housing together • One you are able to access the motor you can remove old brushes • Install the new brushes • Re-assemble and test your tool

The trimmer lacked any power at all and at time would quit working altogether.
I simply raised the springs that held the brushes in place, removed the old brushes and installed the new ones. I then released the springs holding the brushes in place.

Speed of blade had slowed considerably, making it difficult to trim anything.
Struggled to find Torx Security drivers at local hardware stores that would work. Finally had to order online.
Once I had correct T15 driver, repair was a breeze. Removed screws holding body together and removed cover. Lifted spring clip holding brush and removed brush with needle nose pliers. Inserted new brush and replaced clip.

The hedge cutter housing was opened and moter was pulled out. I cleaned the copper motor shaft and removed the two very worn brushes. Everything internally was cleaned and greased and put back together.
I also removed blade and track and cleaned and sharpened same. Hedge cutter running great,thank you for having the parts needed.

I then opened the unit again and carefully studied the pig-tail power cord. I used my volt/ohmmeter to find an intermittent short in continuity due to a broken white wire in the cord. I removed the old power cord, inserted the new power cord, attached the black wire to the switch. I shortened and stripped the end of the original white wire to the armature winding wire and then used a small wire nut to connect the two ends of the white wires in the handle and reassembled the unit. It works perfectly now without any problems.
Thanks for your videos and informative website.
