brushes clean and ensure that they slide
freely within the brush holders.

limit will damage the motor.
NOTE: Use metabo HPT carbon brush No. 43 indicated in Fig. 17.
3. Replacing carbon brushes
Remove the brush caps with a slotted
screwdriver. The carbon brushes can then
be easily removed. (Fig. 18)

All quality power tools will eventually
require servicing or replacement of parts
because of wear from normal use. To assure
that only authorized replacement parts will
be used, all service and repairs must be
performed by a metabo HPT AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER, ONLY.
