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 guards
to ensure there is no accumulated sawdust which may
impede the operation of the lower guarding system. A
dirty guarding system 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 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.
