3. After mounting the threaded rod, position the
stopper as shown in Fig. 10 to secure the threaded
rod squarely against the blades.
CAUTION:
Always mount the threaded rod so that it covers the
entire width of blades B as shown in Fig. 11-1. If you
try to cut the threaded rod mounted as shown in
Fig. 11-2, the thread on the threaded rod may break.
4. Pull the trigger. The cutter rod moves forward to cut
the threaded rod without crushing the thread on the
threaded rod. Keep the trigger pulled until the
threaded rod is completely cut.
5. Release the trigger, and the cutter rod will
automatically return to its original position.
NOTE:
• The cutter rod will not return to its original position
even if you release the trigger until the cutter rod
moves as far as it can.
• The cutter rod will not move forward even if you
pull the trigger again until the cutter rod has
returned completely to its original position.
6. After cut-off, remove the machine head from the
threaded rod after positioning the stopper as shown
in Fig. 7.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the machine is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work
on the machine.
Oil replenishment (Fig.12)
This is an oil-pressure type cutter. When shipped from
the factory, it is filled with pressure oil. Do not add oil as
long as the machine performs well. When the oil-
pressure is not enough to cut threaded rod, replenish the
oil as follows. Use only Makita genuine oil #46.
1. Mount the threaded rod on the machine as
described before.
2. Pull the trigger. Release the trigger just before the
threaded rod is completely.
3. Remove the battery cartridge from the machine.
4. Remove the hex bolt which caps the oil hole.
Replenish oil, being careful not to allow any oil into
the motor.
5. Replace the hex bolt and tighten securely.
6. Install the battery cartridge on the machine and
complete the threaded rod cut-off.
7. Repeat the above procedures two or three times.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,
maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by a
Makita Authorized Service Center.
