Installation & Maintenance Tips

Proper installation and occasional inspection are key to maximizing the life and performance of your carbon motor brushes. Before attempting installation, always ensure the power tool is unplugged to prevent electrical hazards. Locate the brush caps, typically found on the sides of the motor housing. Unscrew these caps and carefully remove the old brushes, noting their orientation. Insert the new carbon motor brushes in the same direction, ensuring they slide freely into their holders. Replace the brush caps securely.

For ongoing maintenance, it’s advisable to periodically check the wear on your power tool carbon brushes, especially if your tool is used frequently. Signs of wear include reduced power, excessive sparking, or a burning smell. Replacing them before they are completely worn out can prevent more severe damage to the motor. Always use brushes that match the original specifications, such as these 17x6x6mm carbon brushes, to ensure proper fit and function.
