MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
Replacing carbon brushes
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
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove two screws then remove the
rear cover.
Raise the arm part of the spring and then place it in the
recessed part of the housing with a slotted bit screw-
driver of slender shaft or the like.
Use pliers to remove the carbon brush caps of the car-
bon brushes. Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert
the new ones and replace the carbon brush caps in
reverse.
Make sure that the carbon brush caps have fit into the
holes in brush holders securely.
Reinstall the rear cover and tighten two screws securely.
After replacing brushes, insert the battery cartridge into
the tool and break in brushes by running tool with no load
for about 1 minute. Then check the tool while running and
electric brake operation when releasing the switch trig-
ger. If electric brake is not working well, ask your local
Makita service center for repair.
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.
