Frequently Asked Questions - SC120DA MAKITA

How to charge the battery?

Plug the rapid charger into a mains socket. The indicator blinks green. Insert the battery aligning the terminals. The indicator turns red during charging. When charging is complete, the indicator turns green again and a tone sounds for 5 seconds. Then unplug the charger.

Which batteries can I use?

Only use rechargeable MAKITA batteries compatible with the rapid charger, for example models 1200, 1201, 1202 and their variants (A). Charging times vary by battery.

How to replace the blades?

Ensure the tool is off and the battery is removed. Unscrew the hex socket bolts securing the blades. Replace the blades with the correct size (M8, M10 or M12) respecting types A and B: blade A on the cutting head, blade B on the cutting rod.

How to replace the stopper?

Ensure the tool is off and the battery is removed. Remove the bolt securing the stopper. Install the new stopper (M8/M10 or M12) with its claw facing forward or upward.

When and how to refill oil?

Refill oil when the pressure is insufficient to cut. Mount a threaded rod, pull the trigger and release just before complete cut. Remove the battery. Remove the hex bolt from the oil port, pour in MAKITA #46 oil without getting any into the motor. Tighten the bolt and finish the cut.

How to install the battery?

Remove the tool's stopped cover. Align the battery tab with the housing groove, then slide it in until it locks with a click.

How to use the variable speed trigger?

The speed varies from 0 to maximum depending on the pressure applied to the trigger. Press harder for higher speed. Release to stop the tool.

What are the important safety precautions?

Only charge MAKITA batteries. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. Do not short-circuit the battery. Avoid temperatures above 50°C. Do not incinerate the battery. Always wear hearing protectors as the noise level can exceed 85 dB(A).

How to cut a threaded rod?

Place the stopper with its claw forward. Bring the tool head onto the threaded rod in the X or Y direction depending on the diameter. Engage the rod's thread into blade A. Position the stopper to secure the rod. Pull the trigger until the cut is complete, then release so that the cutting rod returns automatically.

What to do if the charge indicator blinks red?

If the battery is hot, the indicator may blink red. Let it cool before recharging. If the indicator blinks alternately green and red with a beep, the terminals may be dusty or the battery worn. Clean the terminals or replace the battery.

Insert the battery cartridge so that its plus and minus terminals are on the same sides as their respective markings on the fast charger. The charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin. The charging light will remain lit steadily during charging. When the charging light color changes from red to green and a tone sounds steadily for approx. 5 seconds, charging is complete. Unplug the charger from the power source.

(Note: Refer to the table below for the charging time.)

Battery cartridge	Fast charger
	DC1439	DC1414
1202 or 1202A	Approx. 14 min.	Approx. 45 min.
1201 or 1201A	Approx. 12 min.	Approx. 40 min.
1200 or 1200A	Approx. 9 min.	Approx. 30 min.

CAUTION:

• If the battery cartridge is new, or has not been used for a long time, it may not accept a full charge. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it completely a couple of times.
• If the battery cartridge is warm, the charging light may flash in red color. Let it cool before charging.
• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red, and a tone sounds "beep, beep, beep, ....", a problem exists and charging is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.
• If charging two battery cartridges in succession, give the charger 15 minutes to cool down between the two.

Switching ON and OFF (Fig. 3)

CAUTION:

Before inserting the battery cartridge into the machine, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.

To switch on, press the trigger. To switch off, release the trigger.

Variable trigger speed control (Fig. 3)

The speed varies from 0 to maximum, depending on the pressure applied to the trigger. The more the trigger is pressed, the faster the machine runs.

Replacing blades (Fig.4)

Important:

Always be sure that the machine is switched off and battery cartridge is removed before replacing the blades.

M8 blades are factory-installed on the machine. When cutting M10 or M12 threaded rods, replace the M8 blades with M10 or M12 blades which are available as optional accessories. There are two types of blades for each size; type A should be installed on the cutter head and type B on the cutter rod. Check the type (example: M8A or M8B) engraved on the side of the blades and install them at the correct position.

To replace the blades, first remove the hex socket head bolts which secure them.

Replacing stopper (Fig. 5 & 6)

Important:

Always be sure that the machine is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before replacing the stopper.

The stopper for M8 or M10 blades is factory-installed on the machine. When cutting M12 threaded rods, replace the stopper for M8 or M10 blades with the stopper for M12 blades which is provided as standard equipment.

To replace the stopper, remove the bolt which secures it. Install the stopper on the machine with its claw facing forward or upward.

Cutting operation

1. To mount the threaded rod, position the stopper with its claw facing forward as shown in Fig. 7. With the M8 or M10 threaded rod, move the machine head to the threaded rod either in the X direction shown in Fig. 7-1 or in the Y direction shown in Fig. 7-2. With the M12 threaded rod, move the machine head in the Y direction.
2. Mount the threaded rod so that its thread engages that on the blade A.

CAUTION:

Always mount the threaded rod correctly as shown in Fig. 8, never as shown in Fig. 9. Serious injury may result.

1. 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.

1. 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.
2. 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.

• 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.
