Makita 2012NB ASSEMBLY

ASSEMBLY CAUTION:

•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

CAUTION:

•Handle the blades very carefully when removing or

installing the blades to prevent cuts or injury from the

blades and to prevent damage to the blades. They are

razor-sharp.

•Clean out all chips, dust, pitch or foreign matter adhering

to the drum or blades before installing the blades.

•Use blades of the same dimensions and weight , or

drum oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor cutting

action and eventually, tool breakdown.

•Replace both blades at the same time.

•The disposable-type blade has a cutting edge on both

sides. When one cutting edge becomes dull, you can

use the other cutting edge. Always remove resin and dirt

sticking to the reverse side of the blade before using the

other cutting edge. This blade must not be re-

sharpened. When both cutting edges become dull, the

blade should be carefully thrown away.

1. Removing blades

Loosen the thumb screw which secures the chip cover and

remove the chip cover. Remove the screws which secure the

right side cover. Then remove the right side cover. Turn the

pulley until the drum can be locked in the position whereby

the blade installation bolts face upward.
