MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.
Dressing diamond wheel
If the cutting action of the diamond wheel begins to
diminish, use an old discarded coarse grit bench grinder
wheel or concrete block to dress the diamond wheel. To
do this, tightly secure the bench grinder wheel or con-
crete block and cut in it.
Replacing carbon brushes
When the resin insulating tip inside the carbon brush is
exposed to contact the commutator, it will automatically
shut off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon
brushes should be replaced. 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.
Pick up an end of the dust cover slightly with hands so
that brush holder cap appears.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out 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.
