My brushes are keep sticking in my jigsaw causing it to stop, after I open up the casing and clean them its Ok for a while but then it happens again do I just need new brushes or could there be an underlying problem?
Housemartin presented the following explanation :
I once had an angle grinder, where the brushes would stick in their holders. I resolved it by sanding down the sides of the brushes slightly.
They dont seem very tight in their holders. But thanks anyway Martin
when you say sticking - do you mean:-
1) moving and wedging the motor so it's unable to move?or
2) sticking in their holders and not making good contact with the commutator?or
3) something entirely different??Jim
Does the armature always stop in the same place? (use blob of tippex to mark it)
cheers, Pete.
