Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep

the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.

Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same

time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.

Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones

and secure the brush holder caps.

After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in

brushes by running tool with no load for about 10

minutes. Then check the tool while running and electric

brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If

electric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita

service center for repair.

After use

•

After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the

tool with a cloth or the like. Keep the blade guard

clean according to the directions in the previously

covered section titled "Blade guard". Lubricate the

sliding portions with machine oil to prevent rust.

•

When storing the tool, pull the carriage toward you

fully so that the slide pole is thoroughly inserted

into the turn base.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

any other maintenance or adjustment should be

performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service

Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
