MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
CAUTION:
Clean out the guard to ensure
there is no accumulated sawdust which may
impede the operation of the 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 guard, be sure the proper eye and breathing
protection is used.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
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.
