NOTICE:

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Inspecting blades

Check the blades daily for damage, crack and dull edge.

Ask Makita authorized service center to replace damaged

blades or sharpen dull blades.

Adjusting the blade clearance (Fig. 17 &

18)

The upper/lower blades wear out gradually after

operations. If you cannot get a clean cut though the

blades are sharp enough, adjust the clearance as follows.

The tightness of the truss bolt decides the clearance of

the blades.

The nut holds the truss bolt with certain tightness. Too

loose clearance causes blunt cut, but too tight clearance

causes unnecessary heat and sooner worn-out of the

blades.

1. Loosen the nuts with a wrench.

2. Tighten the bolts lightly till they stop. And then, screw

them back a quarter to half turn each to gain

necessary clearance.

3. Hold the bolts and tighten the nuts.

4. Apply light oil on the friction surface of the blades.

5. Switch on the tool and pull the switch trigger.

6. Measure the time necessary for the blades to stop

after releasing the switch trigger. If it is two seconds or

longer, switch off the tool and repeat the step 1 to 6.

7. Switch off the tool and remove the battery cartridge,

and touch the blade surface. If they are not too hot to

touch, you have made a proper adjustment. If they are

too hot to touch, turn the bolts back a little and repeat

the step 5 to 7.

Lubricating moving parts

NOTICE:

• Follow the instruction of the frequency and amount of

grease supplied. Otherwise insufficient lubrication may

damage moving parts. (Fig. 19)

Lubricate gears in the cutter unit every 25 working hours.

The grease hole locates under the bolt. Remove the bolt

to lubricate.

Add approx. 3 g (4 cc) of grease to the point A of the

gearbox and 5 g (7 cc) of the grease to the point B

respectively via the grease holes. Return the bolt after

lubrication.

After filling correct amount of grease, grease will come out

a bit from the base of the blade during the first operation.

Overall inspection

CAUTION:

• Check for damaged parts and blades. Ask Makita

authorized service center to replace them if necessary.

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.
