Maintenance - Makita 5603R Instruction Manual

Switch action (Fig. 16)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
depress the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
Operation (Fig. 17)
Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece
to be cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn
the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed.
Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece
surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the
sawing is completed. To get clean cuts, keep your sawing
line straight and your speed of advance uniform.
CAUTION:
• The riving knife should always be used except when
plunging in the middle of the workpiece.
• Do not stop the saw blade by lateral pressure on the
disc.
Guide rule (Fig. 18)
The handy guide rule allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the guide rule up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in position
with the screw on the front of the base. It also makes
repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
Joint assembly (Fig. 19 & 20)
(for connecting a vacuum cleaner)
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation, con-
nect a vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install the joint on the
tool using the screw. Then connect a hose of vacuum
cleaner to the joint.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Replacement of carbon brushes (Fig. 21 & 22)
Replace carbon brushes when they are worn down to the
limit mark. Both identical carbon brushes should be
replaced at the same time.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
Authorized Service Center.
