Maintenance; Replacing Carbon Brushes; Optional Accessories - Makita N5900B Instruction Manual

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Clean out the guard to ensure there is no
accumulated sawdust and chips which
may impede the operation of the guarding
system. A dirty guarding system may limit the
proper operation which could result in serious
personal injury. The most effective way to
accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air.
If the dust is being blown out of the guard,
be sure the proper eye and breathing protec-
tion is used.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.

Replacing carbon brushes

► Fig.18: 1. Limit mark
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
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.
