< 1 > Disassembling armature
1. Lock fan 92 (for dust extraction) with screwdriver inserted into dust extracting hole of scirt. See Fig. 1.
2. Turn armature anti-clockwise as illustrated in Fig. 1. Then, armature can be separated from skirt.

2. Disassemble bearing retainer from fan 92 by unscrewing pan head screw M3x12. See Fig. 2.
3. Screw hex socket head bolt M8x14 (for fastening pad 150) into spindle as illustrated in Fig. 3.
This hex socket head bolt M8x14 functions as a stopper for No.1R234 "round bar for arbor" which is to be
inserted into the hole of fan 92 in order to separate spindle.

5. Ball bearing 6902DDW puts pressure on retaining ring S-15 which is engaged in the groove of spindle,
because it has been slidden closely to the retaining ring S-15, when separating from fan 92. See Fig. 4.
6. In order to take off pressure on retaining ring S-15, put the spindle on No.1R037 "bearing setting plate"
as illustrated in Fig. 5, and press the spindle. So, ball bearing 6902DDW is returned to the original position.
Consequently the pressure on retaining ring S-15 is taken off, and it can be easily disassembled from spindle
as illustrated in Fig. 5A.
7. Put the spindle from which retaining ring S-15 has been taken off, on No.1R037 "bearing setting plate" as
illustrated in Fig. 6. And disassemble ball gearings 6902DDW by pressing spindle.
Before disassembling
Ball bearing 6902DDW has been
slidden closely to the retaining ring S-15,
and puts pressure on retaining ring S-15.
