MAINTENANCE OF REPLACEABLE BRUSHES
Models 572 610520,572 610530 & 572 610720
The brushes should be Inspected frequently
when tools are used corttinuously. If your tool
runs sporadically, loses power, makes
unusual noises or runs at a reduced speed,
check the brushes To continue using the tool
in this condition will permanently damage
your tool
CURVED END OF BRUSH
With the cord unplugged, remove the brush
caps one at a time with a small screwdriver by
rotating cap counter-clockwise and check
each brush-
If the brush is less than 1/8" long and the end
surface of the brush that contacts the
commutator is rough and/or pitted, they
should be replaced Check both brushes
Usually the brushes will not wear out simul­
taneously. If one brush is worn out, replace
both brushes Make sure the brushes are
installed as illustrated. The curved surface of
the brush must match the curvature of the
commutator,
After replacing brushes the tool should be run
at no-load; place it on a clean surface and run
it freely for 5 minutes before loading (or using)
the tool- This wi!i allow the brushes to “seaf
properly and will give you more hours of life
from each set of brushes. This will also
extend the total lite of your tool since the com­
mutator surface will "wear" longer.
