Replacing Carbon Brushes; Maintenance; Optional Accessories - Makita GV7000 Instruction Manual

Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and then apply the
abrasive disc to the workpiece.
In general, keep the abrasive disc at an angle of about 15
degrees to the workpiece surface. Apply slight pressure
only. Excessive pressure will result in poor performance
and premature wear to abrasive disc.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.

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. (Fig. 8)
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. (Fig. 9)
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.
