Rip fence (Guide rule)

006710
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with
the screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated
cuts of uniform width possible.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
•
Clean out the upper and lower guards to
ensure there is no accumulated sawdust which
may impede the operation of the lower
guarding system.
A dirty guarding system may
limit the proper operation which could result in
serious personal injury. The most effective way to
accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air.
If
the dust is being blown out of the guards be
sure the proper eye and breathing protection is
used.
•
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.

Replacing carbon brushes
1
001145
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.
For Model DSS610
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 trigger. If electric brake is
not working well, ask your local Makita service center for repair.
