supplied). Take care to avoid the TCT tips of the teeth. The
blade should be aligned at exactly 45˚ to the sole plate.
If adjustment is required:
Turn the adjustable stop (Fig. 16) clockwise or counter
clockwise using a hex key (not supplied) until the blade is
registering an exact angle of 45˚ to the sole plate.
CHECKING AND REPLACING THE CARBON
BRUSHES
WARNING: Disconnect the machine from the power supply
before attempting to check or replace the Carbon Brushes.
Note: Replace both carbon brushes if either has less than
6mm length of carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire is
damaged or burned.
To remove the brushes:
• Unscrew the plastic caps found at the back of the motor
housing. (Fig. 17) Be careful as the caps are spring-loaded.
• Withdraw the brushes with their springs.
• If replacement is necessary renew the brushes and replace
the caps.
Note: Used but serviceable brushes can be replaced. These
must be returned to their original service position. They must
also be inserted the same way round as found prior to their
removal from the machine.
• Run the machines motor without load for approximately 5
minutes. This will help the new brushes to 'bed-in' and ensure
that the motor runs efficiently.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
(20)
Note: All maintenance must be carried out with the machine
switched off and disconnected from the power supply.
• Check that all safety features and guards are operating
correctly on a regular basis. Only use this machine if all
guards/safety features are fully operational.
• All motor bearings in these machines are lubricated for life.
No further lubrication is required.
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean the plastic parts of the
machine. Do not use solvents or similar products which could
damage the plastic parts.
WARNING: Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through openings in the machines casings etc. The
machines air vents should be cleaned using compressed dry air.
