Replacing carbon brushes !
●
This tool is equipped with carbon brushes which pop up
automatically when worn, thus preventing the motor from
being damaged; when the tool stops unexpectedly,
replace the brushes as follows:
! ensure that switch H is in the "O" position
! disconnect the plug
- open the tool with a Torx-15 key (not supplied with the
tool)
- disconnect and remove the worn carbon brushes as
illustrated
- insert and connect the new carbon brushes (supplied
with the tool)
! prevent the spring from popping back by holding
it up with one hand while replacing the carbon
brush with the other hand
- ensure that the wiring is put back as illustrated
! always replace both carbon brushes at the same
time
Grinding @
●
- move the tool back and forth with moderate pressure
! never use a cutting disc for side grinding
Cutting #
●
- do not tilt the tool while cutting
- always move the tool in same direction as arrow on
tool head, in order to prevent the tool from being
pushed out of the cut in an uncontrolled manner
- do not apply pressure on the tool; let the speed of the
cutting disc do the work
- the working speed of the cutting disc depends on the
material to be cut
- do not brake cutting discs with side pressure
Holding and guiding the tool
●
- always hold the tool firmly with both hands, so you will
have full control of the tool at all times
