Return Valve Operation (Fig. 13)
The function of the Return Valve is to allow the Cutter Rod
to return to the starting position if it is unable complete a
cut or becomes jammed. This will release the oil pressure
and allow the Cutter Rod to return. Retighten the Return
Valve once the Cutter Rod is fully returned and before
starting the next operation.
BLADES REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE
If the cutting edges of the blades are chipped, cracked,
deformed, or damaged in any way, their cutting ability will
be reduced. Cutting under such conditions may cause
further damage and result in personal injury. The blades
should be replaced as a set immediately if any damage is
found.
WARNING
• When replacing the blades, ensure that the Battery is
removed from the tool to prevent accidental operation.
Ensure that Blade A, on the Bar Holder and Blade B, on
the Cutter Rod are fitted in their correct respective
positions.
(Fig. 14)
1. Undo the bolts and the washers that hold Blade A and
Blade B.
2. Remove dirt and clean the surfaces where the new
blades are to be fitted.
3. Fit Blade A to the Bar Holder and Blade B to the Cutter
Rod. Replace bolts and washers and tighten firmly.
WARNING
• The bolts that hold Blade A and Blade B should be
tightened regularly. If the bolts become loose the
Blades may be damaged and may cause personal
injury.
Type of spare blade and detachment
(Fig. 15)
Securing bolts should be firmly tightened.
Confirm periodically that the blade is tightened properly.

ADDING OIL
This cordless rebar cutter is electro-hydraulic. When
shipped from the factory, it was filled with oil. Do not
attempt to add oil as long as the tool performs well. Over a
period of time the oil level will gradually go down.
Eventually this will cause a noticeable dropping off in
performance. When this happens add oil as follows.
1. Place some rebar between the blades and pull the
switch trigger.
2. Release the switch trigger just before the cut is
completed to stop the tool.
3. Remove the Battery from the tool, so that the Blades
cannot be moved accidentally.
4. Remove the Bolt (SB10x15) which caps the oil filler
hole. Add the oil, being careful not to allow any oil to
spill into the motor.
5. Replace the Bolt (SB10x15) and tighten securely.
6. Reinsert the Battery into the tool and complete the
cutting operation.
7. Repeat the above procedure several times until the oil
level remains correct.
CAUTION
• Only pure hydraulic oil as recommended by Makita &
Company Ltd., should be used in this tool.
Recommended oils include the Makita supplied
hydraulic oil, Super Hyrando #46 (JX Nippon Oil &
Energy Corp.); Shell Tellus Plus #46 (U.S. Shell); or
equivalent spec anti-wear hydraulic oil, ISO Viscosity
Grade 46. Do not use other oils as these may cause
damage to the seals and other internal machine parts.
