  • Carbon Brush Replacement: The carbon brushes are wear items and will need periodic replacement. When the tool's performance decreases or it stops working, check the carbon brushes. To replace, unscrew the carbon brush covers on the side of the motor housing, remove the old brushes, and insert new ones. Ensure the brushes are seated correctly before replacing the covers.
