How do I change the brush on my milling machine?

Error description

The brush on the router is so worn that it can no longer generate a sufficient vacuum and you want to change the brush yourself.

You need:

• 1 x 4 mm or 5 mm HSS drill bit
• 1 x replacement brush
• Pop rivets (4 mm) as well as matching washers and riveting pliers
  • We strongly recommend riveting the new brush as well. The vibrations of the milling machine can cause nuts to come loose and fall into the milling machine. This can lead to damage to the tiller. If you still want to fasten the new brush with screws, do so at your own risk. In any case, make sure that you Self-locking nuts use. In addition, the screws should protrude as little as possible and have a countersunk head. You are responsible for any damage to the tiller caused by improper maintenance.
• 1 x hacksaw or heat gun

This is how it's done:

• Remove the brush cup from the tiller.
• Drill into the pop rivets from the outside. Take care to minimise damage to the brush pot when drilling.
• Cut the new brush into suitable pieces so that they fit into the brush head from the inside, or use a heat gun to mould the brush.
• Place the new brush in the brush pot and drill the corresponding holes in the brush.
• Place a washer around each pop rivet from the inside.
• Pull out the mandrel of the rivet with the riveting pliers until it breaks off.
