Hold the tool as shown.
Before turning on the tool, always make sure that the
stopper plate contacts the workpiece and the blade is
clear of the workpiece.
Turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full
speed. Gently lower the blade into the cut. The weight
of the tool or slightly pressing the tool will supply
adequate pressure for the cutting. Do not force the tool.
As you reach the end of a cut, release pressure and lift
it slightly so that it will not fall against the workpiece.
NOTICE:
Applying excessive pressure to the tool or twisting
•
of the blade may cause bevel cutting or damage to
the blade.
When not using the tool for a long period of time,
•
remove the blade from the tool.
If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
•
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
Cutting lubricant
CAUTION:
Never use cutting oil or apply excessive amount of
•
wax to the blade. It may cause the blade to slip or
come off unexpectedly.
When cutting cast iron, do not use any cutting wax.
•

When cutting metals, use Makita cutting wax as a
cutting lubricant. To apply the cutting wax to the blade
teeth, remove a cap of the cutting wax, start the tool and
cut into the cutting wax as shown in the figure.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
Cleaning
CAUTION:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or
•
the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Wax and chips on the tires may cause the blade to
•
slip and come off unexpectedly. Use a dry cloth to
remove wax and chips from the tires.
After use, remove wax, chips and dust from the tool,
wheel tires and blade.
Replacing tires on wheels
Replace the tires when the blade slips or does not track
properly because of badly worn tires.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
