MAINTENANCE
Before cleaning or performing any
maintenance, verify that the router has been
disconnected from the power supply. Keep
all ventilation openings clean. Avoid using
solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents. Use
a clean cloth to remove dirt, oil, and grease.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by a specially prepared cord
available through the service organization.
WARNING:
Do not let brake uids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oil, etc. come into contact with
plastic parts. They contain chemicals that
can damage, weaken, or destroy plastic.
WARNING:
To ensure safety and
reliability, all repairs should be performed
by a qualied service technician.
REPLACEMENT OF CARBON
BRUSHES (FIG. 22)
FIG. 22
Brushes
Ears
Cap
1. Disconnect the plug from the power
supply.
2. Replace both carbon brushes when
either has less than 1/4-in. length of
carbon remaining, or if the spring or wire
is damaged or burned.
3. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove
the black plastic cap on each side of
the router motor (FIG. 22) and carefully
withdraw the spring-loaded brush
assemblies. Keep brushes clean and
sliding freely in their guide channels.
NOTICE: To reinstall the same brushes,
make sure that the brushes go back in the
same way they came out. This will avoid
the need for a break-in period.
4. Insert new brush assemblies into the
guide channels with the carbon part
going in first, being certain to fit the
two metal “ears” into their slots in the
channel (FIG. 22).
5. Remember to replace both end caps
after inspecting or servicing brushes.
Tighten the caps snugly, but do not over-
tighten. The router should be allowed to
“run in” (run at no load without a cutter
bit) for 5 minutes before use, to seat the
new brushes properly.
WARNING:
For your safety, always
turn off the switch and unplug the router
motor from the power source before
performing any maintenance or cleaning.
