Ryobi D620H Motor Brush Replacement

Einleitung

Before You Start

For your safety, ensure the Ryobi D620H Hammer Drill is not connected to any power source before you perform any repairs.

It is very important to ensure that the electrical connections are correctly replaced in their designated area for the drill to function properly.

Replacing the motor brushes is a very detail-oriented process. It is crucial to ensure you are paying attention to the positions of each wire. If you mix up even one of the connections, the drill will not function after reassembly! If a cellphone with a camera is accessible to you, it will help to take close-up pictures of the drill before disassembly or you can use a marker to mark the wires to their corresponding connections.
