Symptom: The VARIMAT suddenly turns off and on, or does not turn on at all
Symptom: Temperature is not steady, it floats up and down
Symptom: The VARIMAT V displays the desired temperature but fails to reach the desired temperature

The lock pin may snap if shock or extreme pressure is put upon the ELECTRON blower while it is locked in the upper position.

The correct methods of carrying the tool are with both hands under the frame, or with one hand under the frame and the other holding the black carrying handle. In this guide, parts will be referred to using the numbers indicated in the VARIMAT V drawing below. As an example, see lock pin (79). Tools needed:
Steps:
Note: Always change both brushes at once. If one brush needs to be changed, change them both.
If you are having problems with your power cord or extension cord, follow this checklist to confirm your power source and check your plugs, sockets and power cord:
