Maintenance & Installation Tips
Proper installation and occasional inspection of your carbon motor grinder brushes are key to maximizing their lifespan and your tool’s performance. Before starting, always disconnect your power tool from its power source to ensure safety. Locate the brush caps on the motor housing, which are usually easily accessible. Unscrew or unclip these caps to remove the old, worn brushes. Note the orientation of the old brushes as you remove them, as the new brushes should be inserted in the same manner. Gently slide the new grinder carbon brushes into their housings, ensuring they move freely and make firm contact with the commutator. Replace the brush caps securely.
It’s advisable to check your carbon brushes periodically, especially if you use your tools frequently. Signs of wear include reduced power, intermittent operation, excessive sparking, or a burning smell. Replacing brushes as soon as these symptoms appear can prevent further damage to the motor. While performing a motor brush replacement, it’s also a good idea to clean any carbon dust accumulated within the motor housing, as this can affect performance.
