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 iden-
tical 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.

Keeping planer blades sharp

Dull blades can cause rough finish, an overload of the motor
and dangerous kickback of the workpiece. Replace dull
blades immediately.

Lubrication

Oil the chain (after removing the side cover R), the four col-
umns and the screws for elevating the main frame. This peri-
odic lubrication should be performed with machine oil.

CAUTION:

Oiling and all maintenance should be done with the tool
turned off and unplugged.

Cleaning

Always brush off dirt, chips and foreign matter adhering to
the roller surfaces, motor vents and drums.

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.
