• Always wear gloves to protect your hands from hot
flying chips when cutting metal.
• Be sure to always wear suitable eye protection which
conforms with current national standards.
• Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting
metal. Failure to do so will cause premature blade
wear. (Fig. 10)
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not allow
the tool to bounce. Bring the blade into light contact with
the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove using a slower
speed. Then use a faster speed to continue cutting.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 11)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 12)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN60745:
Model MT450T
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
Model MT450
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN60745:
Work mode: cutting boards
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
Work mode: cutting wooden beams
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 2.0 m/s
• The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
