Polisher Service Kit Armature Front Bearing & Screws (11/19/29/30) For

Extra Information

Typical signs that the armature front bearing and related hardware need attention include a noticeable increase in noise from the front of the machine, a rough or “notchy” feel when you turn the spindle by hand, play on the shaft when you flex the pad and visible movement at the gear box nose under load. If these symptoms appear even after brushes and basic electrical parts are checked, it is often time to refresh the front support with a kit like POL04-SK06.

Because the front bearing runs close to the gear box and pad, it is exposed to heat, compound dust and continuous load in daily use. Replacing it together with the correct screws ensures that the bearing is held firmly in place and that the POL04 can deliver reliable performance on clear coats, metal and other surfaces for many more hours of work.

Pro Tip

Pro Tip: When rebuilding the front bearing support with the POL04-SK06 kit, take the opportunity to clean out old grease and dust from the surrounding gear box area. Use suitable pullers and press tools to remove and install the bearing without striking the shaft, then tighten the new screws evenly. After reassembly, run the POL04 at low speed with no load first – you should feel a smoother head and hear a cleaner, more even motor and gear note before putting the tool back on paint.

Benefits

• Restores smooth rotation and support at the front of the POL04 motor.

Safety

• Always unplug the polisher from the mains before opening the housing or working on bearings and screws.
• Allow the tool to cool down fully before handling internal components.
• Use the correct tools to remove and install the bearing – do not hammer directly on the shaft or bearing races.
• Ensure all new screws are tightened securely and that the armature spins freely before testing under power.
• Test the POL04 under no load after reassembly and only return it to normal use once you are satisfied with the sound and feel.
• If you are unsure about mechanical repairs, have the work carried out by a qualified technician or an approved service centre.
