2. Carbon Brush Replacement

Carbon brushes are wear items and should be inspected periodically. Replace them when they are worn down to approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) or if the motor experiences reduced power or intermittent operation.

1. Ensure the tool is unplugged.
2. Locate the brush caps on the sides of the motor housing.
3. Unscrew the brush caps and carefully remove the old carbon brushes.
4. Insert the new carbon brushes, ensuring they slide in smoothly.
5. Replace and tighten the brush caps.

3. Flexible Shaft Inner Cable Lubrication/Replacement

The inner cable of the flexible shaft should be lubricated periodically (e.g., every 50 hours of use) to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear. If the cable becomes damaged or kinked, it should be replaced.

1. Unplug the tool and disconnect the flexible shaft from the motor unit and the handpiece.
2. Carefully pull the inner cable out of the flexible shaft housing.
3. Clean the old lubricant and inspect the cable for damage.
4. Apply a thin layer of flexible shaft lubricant (not included) along the entire length of the cable.
5. If replacing, insert the new inner cable into the housing.
