MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Cleaning
After use, remove wax, chips and dust from the tool,
wheel tires and blade.
CAUTION:
• Never use solvents such as turpentine, gasoline,
lacquer, etc. to clean plastic parts.
• Wax and chips on the tires may cause the blade to slip
and come off unexpectedly. Use a dry cloth to remove
wax and chips from the tires.
Replacing tires on wheels (Fig. 15)
When the blade slips or does not track properly because
of badly worn tires, or the lip of the tire on motor side gets
damaged, the tires should be replaced.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 16)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. 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 the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps.
(Fig. 17)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

• The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
