Remove screws holding 2 halves of the body together. Separate the 2 plates, exposing the motor. Carefully pull out the end portion of the light springs holding the brushes in their channel with a fine tweezer. Remove the brushes utilizing gravity (tip motor and tap gently). Place new brushes into in their channels and reposition the holding springs onto the ends of each brush. Lift the switch off its plastic "pillars," remove wires connected to it. Attach wires, as before, to new switch and slip new switch back into place. Screw 2 halves of the plastic body back together.

in ordering parts brushes (plural) ordered, seller delivered brush (singular) not a pair of brushes, so installed old brushes and did not use the 1 new brush delivered. in the future, if I do this repair again will cut out switch, solder wires together and fabricate replacement brushes from a piece of carbide
all in all repair easy but did not expect broken wire --- trimmer running perfect like new

I noted the two severely worn brushes and a broken wire from the switch to the armature -- resoldered it. I found that sometimes the switch worked properly and sometimes it didn't. I replaced both brushes (first raising the small brass retainer springs) and replaced the switch and then reassembled the case and had the same intermittent running problem as before when the unit was turned, shifted and extended during use.
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.
