After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in
brushes by running tool with no load for about 10
minutes. Then check the tool while running and electric
brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If
electric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita
service center for repair.
After use
After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the
tool with a cloth or the like. Keep the blade guard
clean according to the directions in the previously
covered section titled "Blade guard". Lubricate the
sliding portions with machine oil to prevent rust.
When storing the tool, pull the carriage toward you
fully so that the slide pole is thoroughly inserted
into the turn base.
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.
