After Use - Makita MLS100 Manuel D'instructions

Make sure that the pointer on the arm points to 0° on
the bevel scale. If it does not point to 0° on the bevel
scale, loosen the screw which secures the pointer and
move and secure the pointer plate so that the pointer
points to 0° on the bevel scale. (Fig. 35 & 36)
(2) 45° bevel angle (Fig. 37)
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing 0°
bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left 45° bevel
angle, loosen the knob and tilt the blade to the left
fully. Make sure that the pointer on the arm points to
45° on the bevel scale on the arm. If the pointer does
not point 45°, turn the 45° bevel angle adjusting bolt
on the left side of the arm until the pointer points to
45°.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 38)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to 3 mm in length. 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. (Fig. 39)

After use

• After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the tool
with a cloth or the like. Keep the blade guard clean
according to the directions in the previously covered
section titled "Blade guard". Lubricate the sliding
portions with machine oil to prevent rust.
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.
