State of abnormality
The vacuum cleaner does not run
along with the switch operation of
the tool.
The vacuum cleaner runs while the
tool is not operating.
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 upper and lower
blade guards to ensure there is no accumulated
sawdust which may impede the operation of the
lower blade guarding system. A dirty guarding sys-
tem 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 blade guards,
be sure the proper eye and breathing protection
is used.
CAUTION:
After each use, wipe off the saw
dust on the tool. Fine saw dust may come inside the
tool and cause malfunction or a fire.
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.
