Installing or removing dust cover
(optional accessory)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the dust cover
attachments.
• Failure to do so causes damage to the tool or a

Continued operation in such a condition may damage
the tool.
• When removing the dust cover attachments, forcing it
up without unhooking hook A or B may break hooking
part. (Fig. 12)

To remove, lift it up by using a slotted bit screwdriver near
the hook B.

Dust cover attachments installed on GS5000 and GS6000
do not cover the vents above and below the brush holder
which is designed dust-proof.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 15)
When the resin insulating tip inside the carbon brush is
exposed to contact the commutator, it will automatically
shut off the motor. When this occurs, both carbon brushes
should be replaced. 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. (Fig. 16)
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.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
