Also, the DW818 will shut down when it needs new brushes. Anyway, first disassemble the grinder, then remove the commutator end bearing if it didn't stay in the housing. Use compressed air to blow the dust out of the armature windings and the commutator grooves. Then clean the commutator surface with a non-petroleum based solvent tike BrakeClean. Then chuck it up in a drill press from the commutator end ( assuming you don't have a lathe ), then follow the directions that come with the cleaning kit. Pay close attention to the segment grooves when cleaning up to be xure that there's nothing packed in them from the re-surfacing . Then re-assemble with NEW brushes. That's the best way. Good luck.

Maybe alcohol as a substitute,or something similiar that wouldn't leave behind a conductive residue. If you see a lot of arcing while the armature is turning,you can garuantee that the brushes have worn down and need to be replaced. I believe the best way to clean it would be with compressed air.

After the alcohol has evaporated some some graphite on the armature (even a pencil lead scribbled over will do). Check brushes fro their face if worn replace. They may be spring loaded: check strength of springs and that brushes can travel freely up and down (ie can be puished agasint armature by the spring.) depends what’s on the armature: generally use an alcohol; an oil like WD-40 will interefere with electric condictivity.
