MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
WARNING:
Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the
best and safest performance.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
1. Miter angle
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the
turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. Tighten the grip and loosen the hex bolts securing
the guide fence using the socket wrench. (Fig. 51)
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the side of the
blade with the face of the guide fence using a triangular
rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex bolts
on the guide fence in the order from the right side.
(Fig. 52)
2. Bevel angle
(1) 0° bevel angle
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered posi-
tion by pushing in the stopper pin. Loosen the lever
at the rear of the tool. Turn the 0° bevel angle adjust-
ing bolt on the right side of the turn base two or three
revolutions clockwise to tilt the blade to the right.
(Fig. 53)
Carefully square the side of the blade with the top
surface of the turn base using the triangular rule, try-
square, etc. by turning the 0° bevel angle adjusting
bolt counterclockwise. (Fig. 54)
Make sure that the pointer on the turn base point to
0° on the bevel scale on the arm. If it does not point
to 0°, loosen the screw which secures the pointer
and adjust the pointer so that it will point to 0°.
(Fig. 55)
(2) 45° bevel angle
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing 0°
bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left 45° bevel
angle, loosen the lever and tilt the blade to the left
fully. Make sure that the pointer on the arm points to
45° on the bevel scale on the arm. If the pointer
does not point to 45°, turn the 45° bevel angle
adjusting bolt on the left side of the arm until the
pointer points to 45°. (Fig. 56)
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 57 & 58)
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.
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 use
After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the tool
with a cloth or the like. Keep the blade guard clean
according to the directions in the previously covered
section titled Blade guard. Lubricate the sliding por-
tions with tool oil to prevent rust.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
