Using this Makita rebar cutter is straightforward. First, make sure you're using a genuine Makita 18V LXT® Lithium - Ion battery. Insert the battery into the tool. Place the rebar in the cutter and use the adjustable stopper to hold it at a 90 - degree angle to the blade for smooth cutting. You can rotate the cutting head 360 degrees to find the best cutting position. When you're done, remove the battery. For maintenance, keep the cutter clean after each use. Check the cutting blade regularly. If it has made around 4,000 cuts, it's time to replace it. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure the best performance and to avoid damage. Also, remember the tool has a 3 - year limited warranty, so keep your purchase details handy. Be careful not to overload the tool, as Star Protection will kick in to protect it, but it's still best to operate within the specified cutting capacities. And that's it - with proper use and maintenance, your Makita rebar cutter will serve you well for a long time.
