Adjusting for smooth handle action
Fig.31
The hex lock nut which holds the gear housing and the
arm has been factory adjusted to assure smooth handle
action up and down and to guarantee precise cutting. Do
not tamper with it. Should looseness develop at the gear
housing and arm connection, perform the following
adjustment. Work the handle up and down while
tightening the hex lock nut; the best position to tighten
the hex lock nut is just before the motor body weight is
obvious.
After adjusting the hex lock nut, be sure that the handle
returns automatically to the initial, raised position from
any position. If the hex lock nut is too loose, the cutting
accuracy will be affected; if it is too tight, it will be hard to
work the handle up and down. Note that this is a self
locking nut. It is a special type that does not loosen in
normal use. It should not be overtightened or replaced
with other types of nuts.
Replacing carbon brushes
Fig.32
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.
