Move the spring, holding the cole brush aside, remove the wire connector and pull out the cole,
install the new one (don’t forget to reposition the spring) and close the brush caps again.
Let the machine run freely without load for a while, allowing the coles to fit right (sparking may
occur, but is not harmful and will disappear after a while)
If you are not confident to perform this by yourselves, ask a qualified person to do it for you.
