Maintenance; Optional Accessories - Makita HS7611 Instruction Manual

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
CAUTION:
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 protection is used.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
Adjusting the parallelism
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, you can adjust it as the following procedure.
1. Set the tool to the maximum cutting depth.
2. Make sure all levers and screws are tightened.
Slightly loosen the screw illustrated.
► Fig.26: 1. Screw 2. Base
3. While opening the lower guard, move the rear of
the base so that the distance A and B becomes equal.
4. Tighten the screws and make a test cut to check
the parallelism.
Adjusting 0°-cut accuracy
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, you can adjust it as the following procedure.
1. Slightly loosen the clamping screws on the front
and rear of the tool.
2. Make the base perpendicular to the blade using a tri-
angular rule or square rule by turning the adjusting screw.

Replacing carbon brushes
► Fig.28: 1. Limit mark
Check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace them 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.
1. Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
2.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new
ones and secure the brush holder caps.
