cHAnging THE cARbOn bRuSHES:
Using a small standard screwdriver, remove the Brush Covers (81). When you remove
the Brush Caps, the Carbon Brush Holder (83) may spring out. Do not lose the Carbon
Brushes. If the Brush Holder does not spring out, gently remove it by using the tip of your
screwdriver. Examine the surface of each brush. The surface should be smooth and
clean. If scratch marks appear, or if the brush is broken, replace the brush immediately
with an approved replacement brush from Harbor Freight Tools.
If the brush is not damaged but is only dirty, you may clean it off with a pencil eraser.
Gently rub with the eraser until the dirt has been removed. Remove any eraser dust
which may have accumulated during cleaning.
Re-install each Carbon Brush (82) by inserting it back into the Brush Holder (83). Screw
the Brush Cover (81) back into the Brush Holder and tighten.
