This rebar cutter comes with a carrying case to keep the tool clean when not in use. The case also has spaces for the accessories that come with the tool. These accessories include hex (Allen) wrenches, a spanner (open-end) wrench, hydraulic oil, and a set of replacement blades. The various wrenches are to be used to align and maintain the tool, open and close the return valve, replace the blades, and top up the hydraulic oil as needed (see the Adding Oil tab).

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT® system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion batteries. Makita® 18V Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.

This Cordless Steel Rod Cutter is electro-hydraulic. When shipped from the factory, it was filled with oil. Do not attempt to add oil as long as the tool performs well. Over a period of time the oil level will gradually go down. Eventually this will cause a noticeable dropping off in performance. When this happens add oil as follows.
