CAUTION: Remove the wheel from the machine for safety before repair/ maintenance !
[1] NECESSARY REPAIRING TOOLS
1R269 Bearing Extractor (Small) ................. For removing Ball Bearings 629ZZ and 607ZZ
1R291 Retaining Ring S and R Pliers ................. For removing Retaining Rings S-12 and R-32
1R045 Gear Extractor (Large) .............................. For removing spindle
[2] LUBRICATION
Put 10 g of Makita grease N. No.1 in the gear room of gear housing to protect the spiral bevel gears from unusual abrasion.

[3] DISASSEMBLING/ASSEMBLING
[3] -1. Replacing Armature and Spiral Bevel Gear 10
DISASSEMBLY
1) After removing carbon brushes, remove four M4x30 pan head screws.
Now gear housing and the assembly of armature and gear housing cover can be separated from motor housing.
2) Remove hex nut M6 that fastens spiral bevel gear 10 by turning counterclockwise with wrench 10.
Then pull off spiral bevel gear 10 by hand.
Note: If it is difficult to remove the spiral bevel gear by hand, remove it as follows:
1. Lubricate the gear and armature shaft with spray lubricant.
2. Cover the gear with cloth to protect its teeth.
3. Using water pump pliers or the like, firmly grip the gear covered with cloth, and then turn the gear.
3) Separate armature from ball bearing 629ZZ on gear housing cover using Bearing extractor, small (No.1R269).
ASSEMBLY Fig. 1
Do the reverse of disassembling steps. Switch knob
Note: Assemble gear housing to motor housing so that spindle is placed
on the opposite side of switch knob on motor housing. (Fig. 1)

[3] -2. Replacing Ball Bearing 6201DDW and Spiral Bevel Gear 37
DISASSEMBLY Fig. 2
Note: Can be replaced without disassembling gear housing section.
1) Remove bearing box by unscrewing four M4x14 pan head screws.
2) Remove ball bearing 696ZZ with Bearing extractor, small (No.1R269). (Fig. 2)
3) Remove retaining ring S-12 with Retaining Ring S and R Pliers (No.1R291).
Now spiral bevel gear 37 can be removed from spindle by hand. Remove woodruff Gear extractor
key 4 from spindle. (Fig. 3) (No.1R269)
4) Remove spindle from bearing box with Gear extractor, large (No.1R045). (Fig. 4)
5) Remove retaining ring R-12 with Retaining Ring S and R Pliers (No.1R291). (Fig. 5) Ball bearing
6) By striking bearing box against working table, ball bearing 6201DDW can be removed from 696ZZ
bearing box together with flat washer 12 and labyrinth ring.

DISASSEMBLING
Fig. 6
1) Remove bearing box from gear housing.
2) Pull off shoulder pin 4 with pliers while pushing pin cap with
finger. (Fig. 6) Shoulder pin 4 Gear housing
Note: Do not pull off shoulder pin 4 without holding pin cap because
compression spring 8 would sling pin cap.
Compression
ASSEMBLING spring 8
Push shoulder pin 4 through gear housing and compression spring 8
into pin cap.
Note: Do not reuse removed pin cap because removal of shoulder
pin 4 damages the inside surface of pin cap, producing plastic Pin cap
dust. Therefore, be sure to use a new pin cap for replacement
and to remove all the plastic dust on shoulder pin 4.
