MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed

CAUTION:
Clean out the upper and lower
guards to ensure there is no accumulated metal
chips 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. When using compressed
air to blow metal chips out of the guards, wear a
proper eye and breathing protection.

After each use, clean up the inside
of the dust box and wipe off the saw dust on the

alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.

repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
