Bosch Slide Mitre Saw GCM12SD

Warning: The brush cap is spring-loaded by the brush assembly.

Remove the brush cap on the motor using a wide, flat-blade screwdriver

Pull out the brush. Repeat for the opposite side

NOTE: If installing the existing brush or brushes, make sure the brush goes in the same way it came out. Otherwise, a break-in period will occur that will reduce motor performance and increase brush wear.

Inspect brushes for wear. On the wide, flat side of brush is a wear limit line. If the brush contactface is at or beyond (no line visible) the limit, replace brushes as a set.

Install new brush. The two tabs on the brush terminal go in the same hole the carbon part fits into.

Tighten the brush cap but do not overtighten.
