Maintenance - Makita 5017RKB Betriebsanleitung

Rip fence (guide rule) (Fig. 17)
The handy rip fence (guide rule) allows you to do extra-
accurate straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up
snugly against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the clamp screw on the front of the base. It
also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
Dust extraction (Fig. 18 & 19)
This tool is equipped with a dust box to collect dust and
cut chips. When the dust box is about two thirds full,
empty its contents. To do so, press the lever to unlock the
dust cap. Then open it. Cleaner cutting operations can be
performed by connecting this tool to a Makita vacuum
cleaner. Remove the rubber cap from the dust cap and
connect the vacuum cleaner hose to the dust cap.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Replacement of carbon brushes (Fig. 20 & 21)
Replace carbon brushes when they are worn down to the

nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
Authorized Service Centre.
