5. Setup and Installation
Replacing carbon brushes requires careful attention to detail. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician.
- Prepare the Tool: Ensure the Metabo Saw KS 1155S is completely disconnected from the power supply.
- Access Brushes: Locate the brush caps or access panels on your saw. These are typically found on the sides of the motor housing. You may need a screwdriver to remove them.
- Remove Old Brushes: Carefully remove the old carbon brushes. Note their orientation and how they are seated within the brush holders. Disconnect the old brushes from their terminals.
- Install New Brushes: Connect the new Buildalot ca-15-18089 carbon brushes to the terminals, ensuring a secure connection. Insert the new brushes into the brush holders, making sure they are oriented correctly and seated properly. The springs should apply gentle pressure to the brushes.
- Reassemble: Replace the brush caps or access panels securely.
- Test: Reconnect the saw to the power supply. Briefly operate the tool to ensure it functions smoothly and without excessive sparking. If sparking occurs, immediately disconnect power and re-check the installation.
6. Operating Instructions
Once the Buildalot carbon brushes are correctly installed, your Metabo Saw KS 1155S should operate as intended. The carbon brushes are consumable parts that conduct electricity to the motor's commutator. Their proper function is crucial for the tool's performance. The integrated automatic stop feature will halt the tool's operation when the brushes are sufficiently worn, preventing potential motor damage.
7. Maintenance
Carbon brushes are wear-and-tear parts and will eventually need replacement. The automatic stop feature of these brushes is a key maintenance indicator. When the tool stops operating due to worn brushes, it is time to replace them. Regular inspection of the brushes (e.g., every few months, depending on usage) can help anticipate replacement needs. Always ensure the tool is disconnected from power before any inspection.
8. Troubleshooting
- Tool Not Starting: If the tool does not start, first check the power supply. If power is present, the carbon brushes may be fully worn, triggering the automatic stop feature. Replace the brushes.
- Excessive Sparking: If you observe excessive sparking from the motor, immediately stop the tool and disconnect power. This could indicate improperly seated brushes, incorrect brush type, or a commutator issue. Re-check brush installation or consult a professional.
- Reduced Power/Intermittent Operation: This can be a sign of partially worn brushes or poor contact. Inspect and replace brushes if necessary.
