Product Description

?

Genuine OEM replacement part Includes 1 Carbon Brush in metal housing for easy installation. • Worn brushes are often the cause of a poorly running motor • Replacing brushes can fix an intermittent motor • New brushes can restore a motor's electric braking Carbon motor brushes are one of the most commonly replaced power tool components. • Because carbon brushes are wear items, meaning that through friction and use they will gradually wear away, they will eventually require replacement. • Worn brushes are common causes of intermittent motor function, reduced electric braking, and reduced motor power. • A worn out brush will often be worn down near the wire lead and may be cracked, pitted, or burned. • When replacing carbon brushes, be sure to also inspect your armature for burns, cracks, or other damage which indicates a larger motor problem.

Screw drivers
Parts Used:

1. Remove the rear cover by taking out one screw.
2. DIs connected the lead from both brushes.
3. To remove the brushes, you have to unscrew one torx head screw on each brush
assembly. One side was easy but the variable speed swhitch made the other hard to
remove. Had to use an open end ignition wr ench to turn the torx head and back out the
screw.
4. Replaced the brushes and reassembled.

NOTE: The spring that applies tension to the brush in hard to position. Important to carefully remove the old brush and observe how the spring is installed.
