MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean. Regularly
clean the tool’s air vents or whenever the vents start to
become obstructed.
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.
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 performed by
Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using
Makita replacement parts.
