Replacement Carbon Brushes for JCB SCMS255 255mm Sliding Compound Mitre Saw – 1600W 240V

Compatible replacement carbon brushes for the JCB SCMS255 255mm (10") Sliding Compound Mitre Saw, Model: JCB-SCMS255.

These replacement motor carbon brushes are suitable for the JCB-SCMS255 1600W 240V Sliding Compound Mitre Saw, a model previously sold through B&Q DIY stores and various online DIY retailers.

Carbon brushes are a normal service and wear component within an electric motor. Over time they gradually wear down through use and may eventually require replacement. Worn carbon brushes can contribute to poor or intermittent motor operation, excessive sparking, reduced performance or failure of the motor to run.

Replacing worn brushes can help restore reliable electrical contact between the carbon brush and the motor commutator, provided the carbon brushes are the cause of the fault and the remaining motor components are in serviceable condition.

Common Symptoms of Worn Carbon Brushes

Carbon brushes may require inspection or replacement if your mitre saw is experiencing symptoms such as:

• Motor will not start
• Motor operates intermittently
• Saw cuts in and out during use
• Reduced motor performance
• Excessive sparking around the motor brush area
• Machine requires movement or vibration before starting
• Visible carbon brushes have become very short or unevenly worn

Please note that these symptoms can also be caused by other electrical or mechanical faults. Carbon brushes should therefore be inspected and the fault correctly diagnosed before replacement parts are fitted.

Important Compatibility Information

Please check that your machine is clearly marked:

JCB-SCMS255

before ordering.

JCB has produced a number of different mitre saw models, and carbon brushes may differ between machines even where the saws look similar externally.

We strongly recommend comparing your existing carbon brushes with the product photographs, including the:

• Carbon block shape and size
• Spring arrangement
• Electrical terminal or connector
• Overall design
• Brush holder arrangement

If your existing brushes differ significantly, please contact us with clear photographs of the original brushes and your machine's rating/model label before ordering.

Replacement Advice

For best results, carbon brushes should normally be replaced as a pair, even where only one brush appears badly worn. This helps maintain more even contact and wear across the motor commutator.

Before fitting new brushes, the commutator and brush holders should also be inspected for signs of excessive wear, burning, contamination or damage. Installing new brushes will not correct damage to the armature, commutator, brush holders or other motor components.

New carbon brushes may require a short bedding-in period while their contact surfaces conform to the motor commutator.

Safety Information

Always completely disconnect the mitre saw from the mains electricity supply before carrying out any inspection, dismantling or repair.

Never rely solely on the machine's on/off switch — remove the plug from the mains socket before opening the machine.

• Do not work on the saw while it is connected to a power supply.
• Do not operate the machine with covers or guards removed.
• Do not touch exposed electrical terminals while the machine is connected to electricity.
• Never bypass switches, guards or other safety devices for testing.
• Take care when working around springs and brush holders.
• Check that all wiring, terminals, covers and safety guards are correctly refitted before the machine is returned to service.
• If wiring, terminals, insulation or the motor show signs of burning or damage, the machine should not be used until the fault has been properly investigated.
• Repairs to mains-powered equipment should only be carried out by a person who is competent to undertake the work safely.

If you are unsure how to diagnose the fault or replace the carbon brushes safely, we recommend using a qualified electrician or competent power-tool repair technician.
