NOTE:
• Check the position of laser line regularly for accuracy.
• Have the tool repaired by a Makita authorized service
center for any failure on the laser unit.
Cleaning the laser light lens (Fig. 75 & 76)
For models LS1216L and LS1216FL 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 carbon brushes (Fig. 77 & 78)
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.

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
