Maintenance Tips

• Blade & Cutter Head: Inspect the cutting blades regularly for chips, wear, or dullness. Replace if cutting becomes inconsistent or sluggish. Lubricate the cutter head as needed with light machine oil to prevent friction wear.

• Battery Care: Fully charge the 18V LXT battery before first use and avoid deep discharges. Store batteries in a cool, dry place when not in use. Clean battery terminals with a dry cloth periodically for optimal connectivity.

• Debris Removal: After each use, clean the tool housing and cutting area to prevent buildup of metal shavings and dust, which can interfere with performance.

• Hydraulic System: If the unit begins to cut slower than usual, check for hydraulic oil leakage or contamination. Contact an authorized Makita service center for inspection—this unit contains a sealed hydraulic system not user-serviceable.

• Trigger & Safety Switch: Ensure the trigger and safety switch operate smoothly. Do not force or bypass them; if you notice resistance or sticking, have them inspected.

• Protective Guard: Verify the safety guard is firmly attached and undamaged. It protects from flying debris during cutting operations.

• Storage: Store in the provided hard case, and keep in a dry environment to avoid corrosion of metal components and internal hydraulic parts.
