    Dear Sir,
    We recommend you check brushes and springs and replace if necessary. Also clean out slots of commutator. You might also have to smooth same by hand turning between extra fine (800-1200) Emery or Crocus cloth, also remove all extra dust …
    Best regards,
    Joseph

    I would like to know how to install a new cord on a vacuum cleaner. It is a rainbow. where are the screws? Should I tie a knot in the cord before putting it in the machine? Is there a place to buy a new cord like the old one? …etc.
