Maintenance; Replacing Carbon Brushes - Makita HS7600 Instruction Manual

blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without
the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and
wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move
the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it
flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is
completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to
properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to
turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may
bind the blade and lead to dangerous kickback and
possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to
stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut
line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning
which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being
ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid
injury.

The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the clamping screw on the front of the base.
It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
Clean out the upper and lower guards to
•
ensure there is no accumulated sawdust 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.
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
•
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
