The motor used on the standard Multi-Tip is an 800 watt, series-wound type. It has 4 brushes which wear down over time; as they are difficult and time-consuming to replace, it is usually better to fit a complete new motor.
Positive supply to the motor comes through the relay mounted on the side of the motor. Negative is permanently connected to the motor terminal.

- Undo the two cap screws holding the motor to the power pack and lift it away.
