Maintenance; Optional Accessories - Makita HS6100 Betriebsanleitung

OPERATION
(Fig. 15)
CAUTION:
• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
• Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly hold
the tool by both the front grip and rear handle during
operations.
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without
the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and
wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move
the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it
flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is
completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly fol-
low your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force
the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade
and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious
injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then
withdraw tool. Realign tool on a new cut line, and start
cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes
operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw.
Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
Rip fence (guide rule) (Fig. 16)
The handy rip fence 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 screw on the front of the base. It also makes
repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Adjusting for accuracy of 0° and 45° cut (vertical
and 45° cut) (Fig. 17 & 18)
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, adjust the adjusting screws with a hex wrench while
inspecting 0° or 45° the blade with the base using a trian-
gular rule or square rule, etc.
Adjusting for parallelism (Fig. 19)
The parallelism between the blade and the base has
been factory adjusted. But if it is off, you can adjust it as
the following procedure.
Make sure all levers and screws are tightened. Slightly
loosen the screw as illustrated. While opening the lower
guard, move the rear of base so that the distance A and
B are equal. After adjusting, tighten the screw. Make a
test cut to get a correct parallelism.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 20 & 21)
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.
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.
