Using the Makita GEC01PL power cutter is quite straightforward. First, make sure the batteries are fully charged and properly installed. Then, connect the water hose coupling if you're doing concrete cutting to keep the wheel cool and meet OSHA requirements. Adjust the water flow using the knob according to your needs. When starting the cutter, remember that the lock - off power switch requires two actions to prevent accidental starts. Hold the rubberized front handle in a comfortable position and turn on the LED light if it's dark. Place the 14 - inch wheel on the material you want to cut and start the cutter. The soft start feature will make the start - up smooth. When cutting, keep an eye on the integrated overload indicator. If it alerts, it means the battery is being over - drawn, so adjust your cutting speed. If the wheel suddenly stops rotating, the Active Feedback - Sensing Technology will turn off the motor to protect you. After use, turn off the cutter and let it cool down. For maintenance, clean the cutter regularly to remove dust and debris. Check the all - aluminum wheels for any signs of wear and tear. Also, make sure the blade guard is adjustable and in good condition. Store the cutter in a dry place and charge the batteries regularly to keep them in good shape.
