Abstract

A series motor for an appliance or tool, such as a circular saw, includes a regenerative braking circuit having brake windings in addition to the run windings. One of the brushholder assemblies includes a push-away feature for separating one of the brushes from the commutator prior to the time the brush could wear to an extent that direct current reversal might not be available to achieve the desired braking action.
