Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to 3 mm (1/8") in length.
Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the
holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the

After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in
brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 min-
utes. Then check the tool while running and electric
brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If
the electric brake is not working correctly, have the tool
repaired by a Makita service center.

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 por-
tions with machine oil to prevent rust.
