6. Maintain the tool's labels and name plates. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for
replacements.
7. Periodically remove chips from the dust cover and the surface of the
power tool with a damp cloth.
WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the
tool. An improperly repaired tool may present a hazard to the
user and/or others.
CARBON BRUSH MAINTENANCE
The carbon brushes may require maintenance when the motor
performance of the tool decreases or stops working completely.
1. Remove the brush cap from the brush holder on each side of the
motor housing.
1.1 Some motor housings will only contain one carbon brush.
2. Remove the carbon brushes from the housing. Keep track of how
the carbon brushes are orientated during removal. The concave
surface must be oriented in the same way if the brushes are
reused. This will prevent unnecessary wear after reinstalling them.
3. Clean old carbon brushes before reinstalling them. Rub the contact
areas with a pencil eraser.
4. Reinsert the old carbon brushes in the same orientation to reduce wear.
5. Replace both carbon brushes if either is worn down more than 50
percent.
6. When installing the carbon brushes make sure the carbon portions
of the carbon brushes contact the motor armature and that the
springs face away from the motor. Also, make sure the springs
operate freely.
7. Replace the brush caps. Do not overtighten.
IMPORTANT! New carbon brushes tend to spark when first used
until they wear and conform to the motor's armature.
CLEANING
1. Clean dust and debris from the tool's vents.
2. Only clean the tool with mild soap and a damp cloth.
3. Dry steel components and lubricate to prevent corrosion.
