When electrical equipment that has been working fine suddenly gets sluggish or stubborn, the first thing you want to check is the motor brushes. Over time, they can start to burn with use, and periodically need to be replaced.
Checking the brushes as part of a regular maintenance plan for your tools can keep you ahead of the issue, plus extending the life of the motor and the entire tool.
Other ways to extend the life of your equipment:
- Oil (8-10 drops of oil on the KaleidoCrete tools just before you quit for the day)
- Blow the dust out of the motors on the Super Compact, Mongoose and Lil Beaver at the end of the day.
Concrete dust isn’t any kinder to the motors of your equipment than it is to your lungs or eyes.
Routine maintenance on your tools will extend their life and is easy to do.
