parts and rotating parts from time to time.

Replacing carbon brushes

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. (Fig. 47)
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. To
replace the carbon brushes, remove the blade guard and
blade and then loosen the lock lever, tilt the saw head and
secure it at 45° bevel angle. Carefully lay the tool on itself
backward. Then loosen the brush holder cap. Remove the
worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the
brush holder caps. (Fig. 48)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
