system. A dirty guarding system may limit the proper
operation which could result in serious personal injury.
The most effective way to accomplish this cleaning is
with compressed air. If the dust is being blown out
of the guards be sure the proper eye and
breathing protection is used.

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Adjusting for accuracy of 90° cut (vertical
cut)
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, adjust the adjusting screw with a hex wrench while
squaring the blade with the base using a triangular rule,
try square, etc. (Fig. 19 & 20)
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 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. (Fig. 22)
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.
For model 5008MGA only
After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in
brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 minutes.
Then check the tool while running and electric brake
operation when releasing the switch trigger. If electric
brake is not working well, ask your local Makita service
center for repair.

Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN62841:
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN62841:
Work mode: cutting wood
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
Work mode: cutting metal
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
• The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
