Cleaning of the lens for the laser light
(Fig. 57 & 58)
For model LS1013L only
If the lens for the laser light becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the laser line is no longer
easily visible, unplug the saw and remove and clean the
lens for the laser light carefully with a damp, soft cloth.
Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on
the lens.
To remove the lens for the laser light, remove the saw
blade before removing the lens according to the instruc-
tions in the section titled “Installing or removing saw
blade”.
Loosen but do not remove the screw which secures the
lens using a screwdriver.
Pull out the lens as shown in the figure.
NOTE:
• If the lens does not come out, loosen the screw further
and pull out the lens again without removing the screw.
Replacing fluorescent tube (Fig. 59)
For LS1013F only
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before replacing the fluorescent tube.
• Do not apply force, impact or scratch to a fluorescent
tube, which can cause a glass of the fluorescent tube to
be broken resulting in a injury to you or your bystand-
ers.
• Leave the florescent tube for a while immediately after
a use of it and then replace it. If not, you may burn
yourself.
Remove screws, which secure Lamp box for the light.
Pull out the Lamp box keeping pushing lightly the upper
position of it as illustrated on Fig. 59.
Pull out the fluorescent tube and then replace it with
Makita original new one.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 60 & 61)
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 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 por-
tions with machine oil to prevent rust.
• When storing the tool, pull the carriage toward you fully
so that the slide pole is thoroughly inserted into the turn
base.
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.
