Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: Before purchasing, carefully check if your Makita tool model is listed in the product description. These brushes are specifically designed for models such as:
- Abrasive Cut Off Saws: 2414B, 2414NB
- Routers: 3612, 3612C, RP1801, RP2301FC
- Circular Saws: 5103R, 5143R, 5903R
- Corded Planers: KP312 (110v, 240v)
- Metal Cutting Saws: LC1230
Setup:
- Safety First: Always disconnect the tool from the power source before performing any maintenance.
- Access Brushes: Locate the brush holders on your tool's motor housing. They are usually cylindrical caps.
- Remove Old Brushes: Unscrew or unclip the brush holder caps and carefully remove the old carbon brushes. Note their orientation.
- Install New Brushes: Insert the new OKODOKO carbon brushes, ensuring they sit correctly in their holders and make proper contact.
- Reassemble: Replace the brush holder caps and ensure they are securely fastened.
- Test: Reconnect the tool to power and test its operation.
Care: Carbon brushes are consumable parts and will wear down over time. There is no specific maintenance required for the brushes themselves, but regular cleaning of the tool's motor vents can help prevent dust buildup that may accelerate wear.
