Maintenance; Adjusting The Depth Guide - Makita HS010GZ Instruction Manual

State of abnormality
The vacuum cleaner does not run
along with the switch operation of
the tool.
The vacuum cleaner runs while the
tool's switch trigger is not pulled.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
CAUTION:
Clean out the upper and lower
guards to ensure there is no accumulated saw-
dust which may impede the operation of the lower
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 guards, be sure the proper
eye and breathing protection is used.
CAUTION:
After each use, wipe off the saw
dust on the tool. Fine saw dust may come inside the
tool and cause malfunction or a fire.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
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.

Adjusting 0°-cut accuracy
NOTICE:
Do not engage the levers for -1° bevel
angle when 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.
Loosen the lever and the clamping screw on the
front and rear of the tool so that the bevel angle can be
changed.
2. Make the base perpendicular to the blade using
a triangular rule or square rule by turning the adjusting
screw.

3. Tighten the lever and the clamping screw. After
that, make a test cut to check the verticalness.

Adjusting the depth guide

depth guide may have been tilted. You can adjust the
depth guide as follows:
1. Make the base perpendicular, and set the depth of
cut to the deepest.
2. Loosen the adjusting screws for the depth guide.
The depth guide automatically adjusts its position.
3. Tighten the adjusting screws for the depth guide.
