POLISHER SERVICE KIT CARB. BRUSH PAIR (48) FOR POL05

Features

• Genuine Tork Craft carbon brush pair for the POL05 polisher.
• Supplied as a matched set specifically sized for the POL05 brush holders.
• Correct carbon grade for balanced life, performance and commutator protection.
• Pre-formed or chamfered ends (as supplied) to bed in cleanly on the commutator.
• Flexible leads and connectors suited to the original POL05 wiring layout.
• Identified as item 48 on the POL05 parts diagram.

Benefits

• Restores reliable starting and steady running of the POL05 motor.
• Reduces excessive sparking, arcing and brush noise at the commutator.
• Helps protect the armature and stator from damage caused by worn brushes.
• Maintains consistent power under load for cutting, polishing and finishing.
• Low-cost service item that can significantly extend the life of the tool.

Extra Information

Typical signs that the carbon brushes need replacement include intermittent running, noticeable loss of power, heavy visible sparking, a burning smell, or a motor that only starts when you tap the housing. If the brushes are allowed to wear too far, the springs can bottom out or the brush can tilt, which risks damaging the commutator on the armature.

Using a genuine POL05-SK10 brush pair ensures the correct size, lead length and carbon hardness for the POL05 polisher. Non-genuine brushes that are too hard, too soft or incorrectly sized can cause rapid wear, poor performance or unnecessary stress on the motor, especially in demanding professional environments.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: Whenever you fit a new set of POL05-SK10 brushes, take a moment to clean the commutator with a soft, lint-free cloth and blow out dust from the motor housing. After reassembly, run the polisher at low speed with no load for a few minutes to bed the brushes in gently – this helps them conform to the commutator and promotes smooth, long-lasting contact.

Specifications

Safety

• Always unplug the polisher from the mains before checking or replacing carbon brushes.
• Allow the tool to cool down fully before opening the housing or brush caps.
• Fit both brushes from the POL05-SK10 kit as a pair – do not mix old and new brushes.
• Ensure brushes slide freely in their holders and that leads are routed away from moving parts.
• After reassembly, test the polisher under no load first and stop immediately if you see excessive sparking or hear unusual noises.
• If you are unsure about motor servicing, have the work carried out by a qualified technician or an approved service centre.
