Remove two Torx T8 screws.

Step 4

  • Unclip the handle from one side.
  • Unthread the cable, the buttons and the board.

Unclip the handle from one side.

Unthread the cable, the buttons and the board.

The motor ist exposed. However, it is not yet completely accessible, since the lower plastic housing part cannot yet be slid over the bell. The bell must first be removed.

Step 5

  • First try If the bell can be unscrewed. It is fastened with a left-hand thread, so turn it in the “wrong direction”, clockwise, to loosen it.
  • Pull on the knife to remove it
  • The bell sits probably quite tight, as it should not come loose during normal operation. When reassembling, glue it in place with a few drops of fluid threadlocker, if needed.
  • If it does not come off easily, then slide the lower plastic part towards the bell and clamp the motor in a vice. Do not tighten the vice very much, the motor is sensitive.
  • Use a long screwdriver as a lever between the bell and the shaft. Then carefully unscrew the bell. Reminder: the wrong way round, i.e. clockwise.
  • Pay attention to the washer between the shaft and the bell, do not lose it.

Step 8

  • Desolder the red and the white wire. These wires are thin and delicate, don’t break them.
  • The motor remains.

  • The rotor is easier to remove and reinstall later when the carbons are pushed back.
  • Desolder the connections to both carbons.
  • The contact strips are delicate and cannot be bent open and closed often, work very gently.
  • Very carefully bend both contact strips open so that the coil springs are free and the carbons can be pushed back.

Step 12

  • Carefully pull out the bottom motor shield.
  • Remove the rotor. If it is stuck tap it carefully out using a hammer.
  • Take care of the two washers located on the top and the bottom of the motor shaft.
  • This motor was heavily rusted and dirty inside. All sliding surfaces, the contact surfaces on the commutator (where the carbons rest), the rotor and the armatur insides were cleaned with fine sandpaper. The bearings were lubricated with silicone oil. After reassembly, the motor ran as it did on the first day.
