This document provides the instruction manual for the Makita Cordless Multi Cutter, model CP100D, a versatile tool designed for cutting various flexible and soft materials. It emphasizes safety, proper usage, and maintenance to ensure optimal performance and user protection.
The Makita Cordless Multi Cutter CP100D is a battery-operated power tool intended for cutting flexible, soft materials up to 6 mm in thickness. This includes common household and workshop items such as carpet, cardboard, and similar materials. Additionally, the tool is capable of cutting optical discs like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs. The tool operates with a rotating blade that efficiently slices through materials. It is equipped with a battery protection system that automatically cuts off power to the motor under certain conditions (overload or low battery voltage) to extend battery life. The tool features a lock-off button to prevent unintentional starting, enhancing user safety.
To operate the CP100D, users must first install a compatible Makita battery cartridge. The battery cartridge slides into the tool's housing and locks into place with an audible click; a red indicator on the button confirms if it's not fully secured. The tool should always be switched off and the battery cartridge removed before any adjustments, accessory changes, or storage to prevent accidental starting.
Starting the tool involves pressing the lock-off button, which can be actuated from either the right or left side, and then pulling the switch trigger. Releasing the switch trigger stops the tool. It is crucial never to disable the lock function or tape down the lock-off button, as this compromises safety.
When cutting, the user should hold the tool firmly and ensure the blade is positioned correctly. For general cutting, the blade is set against the material, and the tool is moved forward. For thin materials like fabric, applying sufficient tension to the material and moving the tool slowly is recommended for a smooth cut. When cutting discs (CD, DVD, Blu-ray Disc), the tool should be tilted as shown in the figures to achieve a smooth cut. It is important not to apply excessive force, as this does not improve cutting smoothness. Users must wear safety glasses to protect against flying debris and avoid cutting solid plates thicker or harder than optical discs. If the tool jams during operation, it should be rotated sideways and pulled slowly to free it.
The battery cartridge includes an indicator to show the remaining capacity. By pressing the check button, indicator lamps light up for a few seconds, displaying the charge level in increments (75-100%, 50-75%, 25-50%, 0-25%). This helps users monitor battery status and recharge when necessary.
Regular maintenance is essential for the safety and reliability of the Makita Cordless Multi Cutter. Before any inspection or maintenance, the tool must be switched off, and the battery cartridge removed.
Blade replacement is a key maintenance task. To replace the blade, a lock pin (included with the blade set) is inserted into a free hole in the blade, and the screw is loosened with a screwdriver. After removing the old blade and lock pin, the new blade is attached with its flat surface facing the tool, the lock pin is reinserted, and the screw is tightened firmly. Users are advised to wear gloves during blade replacement to avoid direct contact with the blade, which may be warm after use. It is also important to wait for the blade to cool down before handling.
Cleaning the tool is important; however, users must never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol, or similar solvents, as these can cause discoloration, deformation, or cracks. Handles and grasping surfaces should be kept dry, clean, and free from oil and grease to maintain secure handling and control.
For any repairs, maintenance, or adjustments beyond basic user tasks, it is recommended to contact Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers. They will use genuine Makita replacement parts to ensure the product's safety and reliability.
To maximize battery life, users should charge the battery cartridge before it is completely discharged, stopping tool operation when a decrease in power is noticed. Overcharging a fully charged battery shortens its service life. Charging should occur at room temperature (10 °C - 40 °C or 50 °F - 104 °F), and a hot battery cartridge should be allowed to cool down before charging. Only genuine Makita batteries and chargers should be used to avoid risks of fire, personal injury, or damage, and to maintain the warranty.
