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 replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in
brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 min-
utes. Then check the tool while running and electric
brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If
the electric brake is not working correctly, have the tool
repaired by a Makita service center.
