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.

• 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.
