Installing the cutting dice
CAUTION:
Always install the cutting dice in
the correct directions and secured firmly. Incorrect
or loose attachment may cause breakage of the
cutting dice, resulting personal injury by flown off
fractions.
NOTICE:
Remove the burr on the cutting dice
using a file if any.
1. Check if the jaw of the cutting dice is fully opened.
If not, install the battery and pull the switch trigger until
the jaw is fully opened.
CAUTION:
Be sure to remove the battery
cartridge if you installed.

CAUTION:
Use only the Makita wrench pro-
vided with the tool. Using other wrenches may
result in overtightening or insufficient tightening which
causes personal injury.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Make sure that the correct size of
the cutting dice are installed to the tool. Check
the cutting capacity written on the the cutting dice
before cutting.
CAUTION:
Before pulling the switch trigger,
be sure to set the threaded rod so that its thread
fits with those of cutting dice. Incorrect alignment
of the threads may break the cutting dice and cause
personal injury by flown off fractions.
CAUTION:
Replace the cutting dice if the
cutting edge is chipped or deformed.
When cutting, place the threaded rod perpendicular to
the cutting line as shown in the figure.

NOTE: When cutting a threaded rod made of ductile
metal such as stainless steel, burrs may be generated
on the cut end. Remove burrs with a file in this case.
