Switch action
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
For tools with lock-off button (Fig. 12)
To prevent the trigger from being accidentally pulled, a
lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, press in the
lock-off button and pull the trigger. Release the trigger to
stop.
For tools with lock button (Fig. 13)
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trig-
ger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and
then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the
locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.

Tool head slide system
The tool head slides back toward you approx. 17 mm when you pull the handle. This system is convenient for the fol-
lowing applications.
1.
When cutting thick pipes or bars: (Fig. 14)
Move the handle back and forth to slide the tool head. This will help increase cutting efficiency and prevent wheel
loading.
2.
When cutting channels or angles: (Fig. 15)
If a portion of the workpiece near you is left uncut, pull the handle. The tool head slides back and the wheel cuts
the remaining uncut portion. If the uncut portion cannot be cut even by using this method, use a spacer block as
explained above.
For tools with the under cover (Fig. 16)
To remove the collected dust from the under cover, place
the tool with its side up and pull the under cover open
after removing the wing bolt as shown in the figure. Be
sure to close and secure the under cover with the wing
bolt after the removal of dust.
Carrying the tool (Fig. 17)
Fold down the tool head to the position where you can
attach the chain to the hook on the handle.

Operation
Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until
the wheel attains full speed before lowering gently into
the cut. When the wheel contacts the workpiece, gradu-
ally bear down on the handle to perform the cut. When
the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL
THE WHEEL HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP
before returning the handle to the fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
Proper handle pressure during cutting and maximum cut-
ting efficiency can be determined by the amount of
sparks that is produced while cutting. Your pressure on
the handle should be adjusted to produce the maximum
amount of sparks. Do not force the cut by applying exces-
sive pressure on the handle. Reduced cutting efficiency,
premature wheel wear, as well as, possible damage to
the tool, cut-off wheel or workpiece may result.

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Replacement of carbon brushes (Fig. 18 & 19)
Replace carbon brushes when they are worn down to the
limit mark. Both identical carbon brushes should be
replaced at the same time.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
