Using your Makita 14” Metal Cutting Diamond Blade is straightforward. First, make sure your 14” gas power cutter is turned off and unplugged or has no fuel in it. Then, securely attach the blade to the cutter following the manufacturer's instructions. When you're ready to cut, start the power cutter and slowly guide the blade through the metal. Keep a steady hand and let the blade do the work. Remember to wear safety goggles, gloves, and ear protection as the process can be noisy and debris can fly around. For maintenance, after each use, turn off the power cutter and wait for the blade to stop spinning completely. Wipe the blade clean with a dry cloth to remove any metal shavings. If there's stubborn dirt, you can use a mild cleaner and a soft brush. Store the blade in a dry place, away from moisture to prevent rust. Check the blade regularly for any signs of damage, like cracks or loose segments. If you notice any issues, stop using the blade immediately and replace it to ensure your safety and the best cutting results.
