Motor Service
Keep the motor as clean as possible. Prevent any
water, oil, or wood chips from penetrating inside
the motor. Be sure to clean the machine after
every use.
The bearings inside the motor are shielded and
lubricated for the life of the bearing and require no
routine maintenance.
This motor is equipped with long life carbon brush
-
es. However, brush life expectancy is affected by
motor loading. Heavy motor loading will result in
reduced brush life. Check brushes after every ten
to fifteen hours of operation (Figure 51
).
When the brushes are worn down to
1
⁄4'' (6mm), it
is time for replacement. When checking brushes,
be sure to return each brush in the same position
that it came from. When replacing old brushes, be
sure to replace both brushes at the same time.

is located on the other side of the motor from the
