Maintenance - Makita DTR180 Instruction Manual

4. Remove the wire reel from the tool.
NOTE: When wire has been used up normally,
approximately 20 cm (8") of the wire remains wound
on 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.
1.
Insert the battery cartridge into the tool, and
turn the power on. The tool feeds the wire and cuts it
automatically.
2. Lock the trigger, turn the power off, and remove
the battery cartridge.
3. Remove the wire breaks using tools such as nip-
pers 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.

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
