Using the Makita 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless Steel Rod Flush Cutter Kit is easy. First, make sure you've charged the 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion 5.0Ah battery fully. It takes less than 45 minutes to charge. Once charged, insert the battery into the tool. Adjust the side handle to a position that's comfortable for you. You can use it in three different positions. Place the rebar or threaded rod in the cutter, and the stopper will hold it at 90° to the blade for precise cuts. Then, simply press the slide switch to start cutting. The Automatic Speed Change™ technology will adjust the cutting speed and torque for the best performance. The carbide-tipped blade will give you clean, burr-free cuts with very few sparks. When you're done cutting, use the chip collector to catch the metal cut-offs. This helps keep your work area clean. For maintenance, keep the wire mesh intake covers clean to prevent debris from getting into the motor. The Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) helps protect the tool from dust and water, but still try to avoid using it in extremely wet or dirty conditions. Always use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to keep the tool working well and to protect it with Star Protection Computer Controls™. This technology stops the tool from overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. Remember, the tool, battery, and charger have a 3-year limited warranty, so take good care of them.
