Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ ensure improved tool performance and extended battery life by protecting against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. The tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with Star Protection. Included is a 14-inch x 1-inch x 3/32-inch Abrasive Cut-Off Wheel (B-64705-1).
Using the Makita 18V X2 LXT Cut-Off Saw is straightforward. First, make sure you have two fully charged 18V LXT batteries and insert them into the saw. Before starting, adjust the fence and vise to your desired position using the 'tool-less' controls. When you're ready, press the two-stage lock-off power button to start the saw. You can start cutting your metal materials. The electric brake allows you to stop the blade quickly for fast adjustments. Remember, always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and gloves. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the blade for wear and tear. If it's dull or damaged, use the 'tool-less' flange removal to change the blade easily. Keep the saw clean by removing debris after each use. Store the saw in a dry place and use the locking pin to secure the cutting head in the down position for safe storage. Also, take advantage of the Star Protection feature in the batteries and charger to ensure long battery life and optimal tool performance.
