MAINTENANCE
Keep the tool clean
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should
be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Never use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could
possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
The carbon brushes
This machine has self-interrupting carbon brushes whose purpose is to automatically
cut the power when the carbon brushes have reached a certain degree of wear.
If this occurs, replace the two worn-out carbon brushes.
To inspect or replace the carbon brushes, first unplug the machine.
Loosen the two screws completely.
Remove the carbon brush covers at the back on both sides of the tool. With the help of
a screwdriver, lift the spring and remove the brushes from the carbon brush holder.
Check the length of the brushes. Replace both brushes when they have less then
10 mm length.
When replacing the carbon brushes, pull the conductors form their position, lift up the
carbon brush via the spring, remove it and replace it with the new brush facing in
the opposite direction.
After checking or replacing the carbon brushes, replace the carbon brush covers and
ensure that you do not damage the conductors.
Screw in the two screws firmly. Before using the machine again, let it run freely for
a few minutes so that the carbon brushes can find their place.
All other repairs and/or maintenance have to be done by a Spit service centre.
Dispose of your appliance, accessories and packaging in an environment-friendly
manner.
