REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES (Fig. 20)
Replacement brush sets are available through Sears Parts and Repair Centers°
!o Unplug the router motor before inspecting or replacing brushes.
2. Replace both carbon brushes when either has less than !/4-in. length of carbon
remaining, or if the spring or wire is damaged or burned.
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the black plastic cap on each side of the router
motor (Fig° 20) and carefully withdraw the spring-loaded brush assemblies° Keep
brushes clean and sliding freely in their guide channels.
t OTE:To reinstall the same brushes, make sure the brushes go back in the
same way they came out.This will avoid a break-in period.
4, Insert new brush assemblies into guide channels, with the carbon part going in first,
being certain to fit the two metal "ears" into their slots in the channel (Fig. 20).
5 Remember to replace both end caps after inspecting or servicing brushes. Tighten the
caps snugly, but do not over-tighten, The router should be allowed to "RUN IN" (run at
no load without a cutter bit) for 5 minutes before use, to seat the new brushes properly°
