To clean or replace the Carbon Brushes: It may become necessary to clean
or replace the two Carbon Brushes (26A) when the Motor performance de-
creases, or stops working completely. The Carbon Brushes are located on
each side of the Motor Housing (28A). To do so:
A. Remove the two Brush Caps (25A). Then, remove the two Carbon Brushes
from the Brush Holders (27A).
B. If the Carbon Brushes are worn down more than 1/2, replace

both

Carbon

Brushes. If, however, the Carbon Brushes are just dirty they may be cleaned
by rubbing them with a pencil eraser.
C. When installing the Carbon Brushes, make sure the carbon portion of the
Carbon Brushes contact the Armature (20A) assembly and the springs face
away from the Motor. Also, make sure the springs operate freely.
D. After cleaning or replacement, replace the Brush Caps (25A).
E. New Carbon Brushes tend to arc or spark when first used until they
wear and conform to the Armature assembly. (See Assy. Diagram.)

To clean the exterior/interior of the Planer: Use compressed air. Do not
immerse any part of the unit in liquid.
