MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
work on the tool.
Oil replenishment (Fig. 16)
This cordless rod cutter is electrohydraulic. When
shipped from the factory, it was filled with the oil. Do
not attempt to add oil as long as the tool performs
well. When the oil-pressure is not enough to cut steel
rods, replenish the oil as follows. Use only Genuine
Makita Hydraulic Oil #46.
1. Place the steel rod between the cutters and pull
the trigger.
2. Release the trigger just before cut-off is com-
pleted to stop the tool.
3. Remove the battery cartridge from the tool.
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 tool and com-
plete cut-off of the steel rod.
7. Repeat the above procedures several times.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,
maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by
Makita Authorized Service Center.
