Replacing the Drive Belt
Should the cutter bind in the workpiece, it is probable that the drive belt needs changing.
Should this be the case, please proceed as follows:
• Remove the three securing screws, arrowed in Fig. 8 and pull off the cover.
• Pull off the old belt by turning the larger pulley whilst pulling the belt towards you in the
middle of its run, so that it gradually eases of the pulleys - take care not to trap your
fingers between the belt and pulley.
• Replace the new belt in a similar manner, turning the large pulley whilst pushing the
belt over the ridges in the pulleys.

Ensure the belt is fully engaged on both pulleys - see Fig. 9
• Finally, replace the cover.
Replacing the Carbon Brushes
• Unscrew and remove the side cover - three securing screws.
• VERY carefully prise out the carbon brush
holders as indicated in Fig. 10. DO NOT USE
FORCE. This can be a little tricky, but once
the holder is part way out, use a small
screwdriver to prise the holder away from
the brush end.
• Disassemble the holder, taking care to
retain the plastic end cap.
• Replace the carbon brush and slide the
spade connection on to the end of the
brush and hold in place with the plastic end cap,
• Replace the holder carefully back into place, again DO NOT USE FORCE to
avoid damaging the brush.
