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
1
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a holder cap opener to remove the brush holder
caps. To replace the carbon brush in the side near the
1
table, lower the blade as far as possible by turning the
handle. Loosen the lock lever, tilt the blade and secure
it at 45°. Then loosen the brush holder cap while view-
2
ing it through the opening of the base. Remove the
worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure
the brush holder caps.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
