properly and returns to the “OFF” position when the
rear of the switch lever is depressed.
• Switch can be locked in “ON” position for ease of
operator comfort during extend use. Apply caution
when locking tool in “OFF” position and maintain firm
grasp on tool.
To start the tool, slide the switch lever toward the “I (ON)”
position. For continuous operation, press the front of the
switch lever to lock it.
To stop the tool, press the rear of the switch lever, then
slide it toward the “O (OFF)” position.
Indication lamp with multi function
(Fig. 4)
Indication lamps are located in two positions.
- Battery cartridge replacing signal
- When the battery power is almost used up during
operation, the red lamp lights up and the tool stops
immediately. Replace the battery with fully charged
one when the red lamp lights up.
- 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 DJS160 and DJS161 only
Adjust the clearance between the side blade and the
center blade according to the thickness of the workpiece.
(Fig. 5)
First use a hex wrench to loosen the screw.
(Fig. 6)
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.
006428
After adjusting the clearance, tighten the screw securely.
Storing hex wrench (Fig. 7)
Store the hex wrench as shown in the figure when not in
use.
OPERATION
Lubrication (Fig. 8)
Before operation, lubricate the contact point of the center
blade and the pin. To keep good cutting performance, also
use a cutting lubricant from time to time during operation.
OPERATION (Fig. 9)
Turn the tool on and set front ends of the side blades on
the workpiece. Now simply move the tool forward,
keeping the side blades flush with the workpiece surface.
(Fig. 10)
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 attempting 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. 11)
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. 12)
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. 13)
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.
