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.
(Fig. 16)
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 Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
