7104L
Chain Mortiser
Based on the current model 7104L, its specifications have been upgraded
to meet the European standards. The front cover has been added
to enclose the cutter chain. Some electrical parts have been changed to
comply with the electromagnetic compatibility-requirement.
This tool is ideal for making mortises and notches quickly. Pivoting chain
bar enables an opearator to make a 130mm long rectangular hole in
three cutting processes without reclamping a workpiece.
Except for Europe, Australia and New Zealand, the current specifications
have been continued. Dimensions: mm

[3]-2. Reassembling Motor Section
Armature and Field can be replaced without disassembling Gear housing section.
Remove Carbon brushes from the machine.
Motor housing complete can turn freely by separating four M5x80 pan head screws from the machine.
However, the last one is difficult to be unscrewed because the tensile force of Tension spring 20 affects it through Chain
bar holder and Rotor holder. Therefore, push Handle to counterclockwise direction as mentioned in Fig. 1 to remove the
last M5x80 pan head screw.
Next, Turning Motor housing complete clockwise as shown in Fig. 2 so that the tensile force of Tension spring 20 can be
removed.

(Makita part No. 1R309) and plastic hammer as shown in Fig. 3
until the other end comes out of the hook of Rotor holder.
And then, pull out the Spring pin 5-12 from the opposite side
using pliers. Pull out Motor housing complete backward while
turning it. Move on to the step for Motor replacement.

Perform the disassembling procedure in reverse of the assembling steps.
The reassembling work can be successfully performed even if Tension spring 20 shrinks to the original size.
Drive Spring pin 5-20 into the hole of Rotor holder's hook upward from the bottom so that the upper end protrudes by 4mm
for the stopper of Tension spring 20. Install Armature from Chain bar holder side. It is useful as a guide when Motor
housing complete is installed.
Hook one end of Tension spring 20 in the hole of Grip holder L as shown in Fig. 4 after inserting Motor housing section in
Rotor holder. Chain cover should be vertical against ground. And both Motor housing and Rotor holder should be paralleled
to the ground while pulling Tension spring 20 using Handle as described in Fig. 5. At this time, while pressing Motor
housing section with knee, tighten four M5x80 pan head screws. This is to prevent the Motor housing section from slipping
off.

[4] Disassembling Gear Section
[5] Disassembling Vice Element
Note: Gear section can be replaced without disassembling Motor section.
Vice element can be pulled out only by loosening Lever 98 ass'y as illustrated in Fig. 7. If chips attach in the Compression
spring 48 and Compression spring 36, the chips make the clamp operation worse. Therefore, disassemble and clean them.
Loosen M6x35 Pan head screw to remove the Compression springs using cordless impact driver with phillips bit No.3 as
mentioned in Fig. 8 while holding Vice shoe so as not to jump by the reaction force of the Compression springs.
[6] Disassembling Front Vice
Main body including Base complete on vice section can be removed backward from
the Vice section in the following steps.
1) Disassemble Vice element in accordance with the above procedure.
2) Forward the main body to the edge of Screw M4 by turning Knob 20 as shown in
Fig. 9 .
Loosen two Levers in the direction of arrows as illustrated in Fig. 10.
Push one end of Spring pin at the right side of Lever B complete using Spring pin
extractor 4.0 (Makita part No. 1R308) and plastic hammer.
Consequently, Pin 9 and some components can be separated as described in Fig. 11.

Remove Spring washer 10, Flat washer 10 and Ring 15 from Spindle by hand.
Remove Sprocket 4 from tool by hand. If it is stuck on the spindle firmly, use Gear extractor Large (Makita part No. 1R045).
Strike the reverse side of Chain bar holder using plastic hammer, so Gear housing can be separated from Chain bar holder.
The connecting parts of Chain bar holder and Gear housing are three Spring pins 6-24 only.
Remove gear section from Gear housing, and then tap the gear section on the table to separate Helical gear 47 from the
other components of the gear section.

Remove four M5x80 pan head screws in the front of the tool in the same manner
described in Repairing Motor Section.
To release the tensile force of Tension spring 20, Turn the Motor housing clockwise.
The tension spring 20 will return to the original size. Consequently, Motor housing
complete can be easily removed.
Pull out Chain bar holder to your side from the front of tool while turning it.
Insert Type 94 Field insert jig (Makita part No. 1R275) between Sprocket 4 and the
wall of Chain bar holder in order not to revolve Spindle fixed with the Sprocket 4
as shown in Fig.6. Loosen M10 Hex. nut using Box wrench 17 or Wrench 13-17.

1) Fix an yellow colored Indication plate to Base complete with M4x8 pan head screw as shown in Fig. 13 after aligning
the front edge of the Indication plate with front end of 16.5mm cutter chain.
2) When aligning the center of + Countersunk head screw M6x12 with the bottom of Base complete, drive Stopper pole
into the Base complete by hand in order to adjust the height of Rotor holder at ZERO position on Stopper pole as
shown in Fig. 14. After positioning it, tighten M8 Hex. nut onto the hole of Base complete firmly using Wrench.
Note: Face the gauge of Stopper pole to outside before tihgtening M8 Hex. nut.
3) Align the left end of Scale plate with the left end of the cutter chain by resetting the scale plate on the Base complete.

4) Refer to Fig. 16, Fig. 17, Fig. 18 and Fig. 19.
Precisely adjust M8x44 Hex. bolts and Stopper to make a rectangular hole with the same size into the wooden workpiece
as illustrated in Fig. 20. When the machine with 16.5mm cutter chain is used, Fig. 20 shows the cutting size preset in
Makita plant. Meanwhile, if preferring to make a 30mm long rectangular hole, adjust M8x44 Hex. bolt for No. 2 set
position to lean Chain bar assembly to the limit.
5) Adjust the tension of 16.5mm cutter chain. When there is a clearance of
approx. 5 up to 6mm between the chain bar and the cutter chain, the tension
on the cutter chain is adequate. See Fig. 21.
Note: Do not touch the cutting edges of the cutter chain when pulling it.
6) Adjust the clearance between Chain bar holder and Rotor holder so that
Chain bar ass'y can be tilted smoothly without stuck by moving the tips of
three M5X16 Hex. bolts backward and forward.
