Replacing carbon brushes

007834

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.

Replace when they wear down to 3 mm (1/8") in length.
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. 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.
After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in
brushes by running tool with no load for about 10
minutes. Then check the tool while running and electric
brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If
electric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita
service center to repair.
