lens for the laser light carefully with a damp, soft cloth.

Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on

the lens.

To remove the lens for the laser light, remove the saw

blade before removing the lens according to the instruc-

tions in the section titled “Installing or removing saw

blade”.

Loosen but do not remove the screw which secures the

lens using a screwdriver.

NOTE:

•If the lens does not come out, loosen the screw

further and pull out the lens again without removing

the screw.

Replacing carbon brushes

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 identical carbon brushes.

out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and

secure the brush holder caps.

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

tric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita ser-

vice center for repair.
