General Power Tool SafetyWarnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (cored) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

CORDLESS CUT-OUT TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. The cutter bit shank must match the designed collet chuck.
3. Only use a bit that is rated at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the tool.
4. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact hidden wiring. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
5. Wear eye protection and dust mask.
6. Ventilate your work area adequately.

7. Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged bit immediately.

8. Check for the proper clearance beneath the workpiece before cutting so that the bit will not strike a hard surface such as the floor, workbench, etc.

9. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws and other foreign material from the workpiece before operation.
10. Check that the bit is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. Always hold the tool with two hands while switching the tool on. The motor torque can cause the tool to turn.
11. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate improperly installed bit.
12. Make sure that the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on.
13. Always use with the shoe securely attached to the tool and positioned flat and firmly against the workpiece.
14. Hold the tool firmly.
15. Do not perform any operation using your hands to support or guide the workpiece.
16. Keep hands away from moving parts.
17. Do not use this tool for drilling.
18. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
19. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before removing the bit from workpiece.
20. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
21. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the correct shank diameter and which are suitable for the speed of the tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.

Tool / battery protection system

The tool is equipped with a tool/battery protection system. This system automatically cuts off the power to extend tool and battery life. The tool will automatically stop during operation if the tool or battery is placed under one of the following conditions:

Overload protection

This protection works when the tool is operated in a manner that causes it to draw an abnormally high current. In this situation, turn the tool off and stop the application that caused the tool to become overloaded. Then turn the tool on to restart.

Overheat protection

This protection works when the tool or battery is overheated. In this situation, let the tool and battery cool before turning the tool on again.

Overdischarge protection

This protection works when the remaining battery capacity gets low. In this situation, remove the battery from the tool and charge the battery.

Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 3)

To adjust the shoe, loosen the thumb screw. Slide the shoe to the desired position and then tighten the thumb screw securely. Check for the proper clearance beneath the workpiece before cutting not to strike a hard surface such as the floor, workbench, etc.

Switch action (Fig. 4)

CAUTION:

• Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the slide switch actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when the rear of the slide switch is depressed.

To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "I (ON)" position. For continuous operation, press the front of the slide switch to lock it.

To stop the tool, press the rear of the slide switch, then slide it toward the "O (OFF)" position.

Accidental re-start preventive function

Even if the battery cartridge is installed on the tool with the slide switch in the "I (ON)" position, the tool does not start.

To start the tool, first slide the slide switch toward the "O (OFF)" position and then slide it toward the "I (ON)" position.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Installing or removing bit (Fig. 5)

CAUTION:

• Do not tighten the collet nut without installing a bit, or the collet cone may break.

Press the shaft lock to prevent shaft rotation when installing or removing the bit.

To install the bit, place it in the collet cone as far as it goes and then tighten the collet nut securely with the shoe as a wrench.

To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse.

Changing the collet cone (country specific) (Fig. 6)

CAUTION:

• Use the correct size collet cone for the bit which you intended to use.
• Do not tighten the collet nut without installing a bit, or the collet cone may break.

To change the collet cone, loosen the collet nut and remove. Remove the installed collet cone and replace with desired collet cone. Reinstall collet nut.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Avoid forcing the bit to bend or twist. It may snap.
• Before turning the tool on, make sure the bit and collet nut are securely tightened.

Hold the tool securely with the bit pointing in a safe direction not contacting any surface. Turn the tool on and wait until the tool reaches full speed. (Fig. 7)

When using the drywall guide bit into a drywall, carefully insert the bit straight until the shoe base contacts the material fully.

Move the tool slowly with a constant pressure in a clockwise direction to make the cut. (Fig. 8)

When cutting straight line, clamp a straight board firmly to the material and use it as a guide. Move the tool in the direction of the arrow with the shoe base flush with the side of the guide board.

When the cut is complete, turn the tool off and wait for the bit to stop rotating and then carefully remove it from the material.

NOTE:

• When using this tool, the rotating action causes the tool to pull. The less pressure applied to the tool causes less pull and provides a more accurate cut. Excessive pressure or fast cutting can cause the bit to dull or break premature.
• When cutting drywall around outlet boxes, cut in a counterclockwise direction for ease of cut.
• The standard bit included with this tool is for cutting drywall only. When cutting materials other than drywall, do not use the standard drywall guide bit.

Using multipurpose bit (optional accessory) (Fig. 9 & 10)

When using the multipurpose bit into the material, hold the tool at approximately a 45 degree angle with the edge of the shoe base contacting the material.

Bring the tool carefully to a straight position so the shoe base contacts the material fully.

Circular guide (optional accessory)

Circular cutting diameters: 10cm - 34cm

Installing circular guide (Fig. 11, 12 & 13)

Release the thumb screw which secures the shoe.

Align the projections in the circular guide with the grooves in the shoe, and secure the shoe and circular guide with the thumb screw.

To adjust the cutting depth, loose the thumb screw and then slide the shoe with the circular guide. After the proper adjustment, tighten the thumb screw securely.

Using circular guide (Fig. 14 & 15)

Loosen the knob, and adjust its position in accordance with the size of the circle to be cut. (The hole dimensions to be cut are indicated on the side of the circular guide as a general guideline.) After completion of the adjustment, tighten the knob securely.

Install the end of the knob into the center of the circle to be cut, and proceed to cut in a clockwise direction.

Vacuum cover (optional accessory) (Fig. 16, 17 & 18)

To perform cleaner operations, use the vacuum cover and connect the tool to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust collector.

Loosen the thumb screw and remove the shoe. Attach the vacuum cover, and fasten it securely with the thumb screw.

The circular guide (optional accessory) can be installed on the vacuum cover.

Connect the hose of a vacuum cleaner/dust collector to the vacuum cover. When connecting to Makita vacuum cleaner, use an optional hose 28mm in inner diameter.

When connecting to Makita dust collector, connect the hose for the dust collector directly to the dust nozzle.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 19, 20 & 21)

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Insert the top end of slotted bit screwdriver into the notch in the tool and remove the holder cap cover by lifting it up.
