the reel. In this state, replace the wire reel with a new
one.
If it is difficult to remove the wire reel from the tool,
follow the steps below.

Insert the battery cartridge into the tool, and turn the
power on. The tool feeds the wire and cuts it automatically.

Lock the trigger, turn the power off, and remove
the battery cartridge.
3.
Remove the wire breaks using tools such as nippers or pliers.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
