— Accidental re-start preventive function
— Even if the battery cartridge is inserted on
the tool with the slide switch in the "I (ON)"
position, the tool does not start. At this time,
the lamp flickers slowly and this shows that
the accidental re-start preventive function is
at work.
— 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 carrying
out any work on the tool.
Adjusting the blade clearance
For Model DJS161
Adjust the clearance between the side blade and
the center blade according to the thickness of the
workpiece.
► Fig.6: 1. Hex wrench 2. Screw
First use a hex wrench to loosen the screw.
► Fig.7: 1. Center blade 2. Thickness gauge 3. Side
blade 4. Hex wrench 5. Hex socket head bolt
Then use the hex wrench to adjust the clearance by
tightening or loosening the bolt. There may be a slight
difference between clearance of both sides of the center
blade.
Check the smaller clearance with the thickness gauge
and adjust it.
When using the thickness gauge to adjust the blade
clearance, refer to the table.
Workpiece thickness (mm)
Less than 0.8
0.8 - 1.3
More than 1.3
After adjusting the clearance, tighten the screw
securely.
Storing hex wrench
► Fig.8: 1. Hex wrench
Store the hex wrench as shown in the figure when not
in use.
OPERATION
Lubrication
► Fig.9: 1. Oil supply 2. Center blade 3. Pin
Before operation, lubricate the contact point of the
center blade and the pin. To keep good cutting perfor-
mance, also use a cutting lubricant from time to time
during operation.

Turn the tool on and set front ends of the side blades on
the workpiece. Now simply move the tool forward, keep-
ing the side blades flush with the workpiece surface.
► Fig.11
CAUTION:
• When cutting a small portion of the workpiece,
you may have difficulty completing the end of
the cut. In that case, try to cut it again, pulling
the workpiece back slightly.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before attempt-
ing to perform inspection or maintenance.
NOTICE:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
The tool and its air vents have to be kept clean.
Regularly clean the tool's air vents or whenever the
vents start to become obstructed.
Replacing carbon brushes
► Fig.12: 1. Limit mark
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.
► Fig.13: 1. Brush holder cover 2. Notch
3. Screwdriver
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.
► Fig.14: 1. Brush holder cap 2. Screwdriver
Reinstall the holder cap cover on the tool.
Replacing blades
The service life of the blades varies in terms of the
workpiece to be cut. The following reference tables
indicate the approximate service life of the blades.
When the blades become dull, ask Makita Authorized
Service Centers to replace the blades.
