ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed before carrying out any work
on the tool.
Removing or installing the punch and die (Fig. 8,
9, 10 & 11)
Always replace the punch and die as a set. To remove
the punch and die, loosen the lock nut with the wrench.
Remove the die holder from the tool. Use the hex wrench
to loosen the bolts which secure the die. Remove the die
from the die holder.
Use the hex wrench to loosen the screw which secures
the punch. Pull the punch out of the punch holder.
To install the punch and die, insert the punch into the
punch holder so that the notch in the punch faces toward
the screw. Tighten the screw to secure the punch. Install
the die on the die holder. Tighten the bolts to secure the
die.
Then install the die holder on the tool so that the punch is
inserted through the hole in the die holder. Tighten the
lock nut to secure the die holder. After replacing the
punch and die, lubricate them with machine oil and run
the tool for a while.
OPERATION
Pre-lubrication
Coat the cutting line with machine oil to increase the
punch and die service life. This is particularly important
when cutting aluminum.
Cutting method (Fig. 12)
Hold the tool so that the cutting head is at a right angle
(90°) to the workpiece being cut. Move the tool gently in
the cutting direction.
Cutouts (Fig. 13)
Cutouts can be done by first opening a round hole over
21 mm in diameter which the cutting head can be
inserted into.
Cutting the corrugated or trapezoidal sheet
metals (Fig. 14 & 15)
Set the die position so that the die faces the cutting direc-
tion either when cutting at an angle or perpendicular go
grooves in corrugated or trapezoidal sheet metals.
Always hold the tool body parallel to the grooves with the
cutting head at a right angle (90°) to the cutting surface
as shown in the figure.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the bat-
tery cartridge is removed 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. 16, 17 & 18)
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.
Insert the top end of slotted bit screwdriver into the notch
in the tool and remove the holder cap cover by lifting it
up.
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.
Reinstall the holder cap cover on the tool.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN62841-2-8:
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB(A)
NOTE:
• The declared noise emission value(s) has been mea-
sured in accordance with a standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared noise emission value(s) may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

• The noise emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared value(s) depend-
ing on the ways in which the tool is used especially
what kind of workpiece is processed.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of expo-
sure 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).
