This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is off,

adjust the adjusting screws with a hex wrench while inspect-

ing 90° or 45° the blade with the base using a triangular rule

or square rule, etc.

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 iden-

tical 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.

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 elec-

tric brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If elec-

tric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita service

center for repair.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any

other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
