Cutouts 

Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B. 

A) Boring a starting hole 

   

009644 

 

For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an 
edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in 
diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start your 
cut. 

B) Plunge cutting 

   

009645 

 

You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in 
cut if you carefully do as follows. 
(1)  Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base 

with the blade point positioned just above the 
workpiece surface. 

(2)  Apply pressure to the tool so that the front 

edge of the base will not move when you 
switch on the tool and gently lower the back 
end of the tool slowly. 

(3)  As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly 

lower the base of the tool down onto the 
workpiece surface. 

(4)  Complete the cut in the normal manner. 

 

Finishing edges 

   

009646 

 

To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the 
blade lightly along the cut edges. 
For smoother cutting of plywood or other workpiece with 
easily splintered surfaces, transparent tape may be used 
over your cutting line. 

 

Metal cutting 

Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting 
metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear. 
The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead 
of using a coolant. 

 

Dust extraction

The dust nozzle (accessory) is recommended to perform 
clean cutting operations. 
To attach the dust nozzle on the tool, insert the hook of 
dust nozzle into the hole in the base. 
Then connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to the dust 
nozzle.
