MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

The angle grinder was conceived to operate over a long
period of time with a minimum of maintenance. For a
continuous and trouble-free operation, you must
perform regular cleaning and proper maintenance
tasks.
Before inspecting, performing any maintenance or
cleaning, turn off the angle grinder and unplug the
power cord.

Carbon brush replacement

The motor will not start when the carbon brushes are
worn out. The brushes must be replaced in good time,
otherwise there will be faulty contact between the

and damage to the angle grinder. Both carbon brushes
must be replaced at the same time by two carbon
brushes with the same characteristics.

brush caps (8);
2. Lift the spring clip and remove the carbon brushes by

copper wire and then place the spring clip over the
carbon brush;
