MAKITA TM001G (01) PDF Document

The MAKITA TM001G features an oscillation rate of 10,000 to 20,000 min-1, an oscillation angle of 1.8 degrees left/right (3.6 degrees total), a net weight ranging from 2.1 to 3.3 kg, and a rated voltage of D.C. 36 V to 40 V max.

The MAKITA TM001G is compatible with the following battery cartridges: BL4020, BL4025, BL4040, BL4040F, BL4050F, and BL4080F.

The batteries for the MAKITA TM001G can be charged using the DC40RA, DC40RB, DC40RC, or DC40WA chargers.

The MAKITA TM001G is compatible with STARLOCK, STARLOCK PLUS, and STARLOCK MAX type application tools. The OIS type is not compatible.

The MAKITA TM001G is intended for sawing and cutting wood, plastic, gypsum, non-ferrous metals, and fastening elements such as nails and staples. It is also designed for working soft wall tiles, as well as dry sanding and scraping of small surfaces. It is particularly effective for working close to edges and for flush cutting.

When the battery capacity is insufficient, the MAKITA TM001G will stop automatically. In this situation, remove the battery cartridge from the tool and charge it.

Press the check button on the battery cartridge. The indicator lamps will light up for a few seconds to show the remaining capacity.

The first (far left) indicator lamp will blink when the battery protection system of the MAKITA TM001G is active.

If the current rises sharply due to excessive pressure on the workpiece, the MAKITA TM001G overload alert may activate. It will decline the oscillation speed and increase vibration amplitude. Once the tool is isolated from the workpiece, the oscillation speed should return to normal.

If the MAKITA TM001G stops due to overload protection, turn the tool off, stop the application that caused the overload, and then turn the tool back on to restart.

If the protection system triggers repeatedly, the MAKITA TM001G becomes locked. To release the lock, remove the battery, place it into a battery charger, and wait until the charging process is complete.

First, ensure all switches are in the off position and try turning the tool back on. Second, charge or replace the battery with a fully charged one. Third, allow the tool and battery to cool down. If the problem persists, contact your local service center.

To start the MAKITA TM001G, slide the switch toward the “I (ON)” position. To stop it, slide the switch toward the “O (OFF)” position.

Turn the dial on the MAKITA TM001G to a number between 1 and 6. A higher number results in a higher oscillation rate.

Yes, do not turn the dial directly from 1 to 6 or 6 to 1 on the MAKITA TM001G as this may damage the tool. Always move the dial through each intermediate number.

The front lamp of the MAKITA TM001G turns on automatically when the slide switch is moved to the “I (ON)” position.

The front lamp of the MAKITA TM001G remains lit for approximately 10 seconds after the slide switch is moved to the “O (OFF)” position.

Blinking of the front lamp on the MAKITA TM001G indicates that either the overheat protection or the protection lock function is active.

If you insert a battery into the MAKITA TM001G while the switch is in the “I (ON)” position, the tool will not start. You must first move the switch to the “O (OFF)” position and then back to the “I (ON)” position to operate the tool.

Align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing of the MAKITA TM001G and slide it into place. Ensure it locks with a click. If you see a red indicator, it is not fully locked.

To remove the battery from the MAKITA TM001G, slide it out of the tool while pressing the button located on the front of the cartridge.

First, open the lock lever on the MAKITA TM001G fully until it clicks. Remove the holder bolt. Place the application tool onto the tool flange and insert the holder bolt until it stops. Finally, return the lock lever to its original position to secure the tool.

Yes, be careful when closing the lock lever of the MAKITA TM001G. Hold the tool firmly and do not place your hand around the original position of the lock lever to avoid the lever closing suddenly and pinching your finger.

Application tools for the MAKITA TM001G can be installed at an angle of every 30 degrees.

Mount the sanding paper onto the sanding pad of the MAKITA TM001G so that it matches the pad’s direction. Ensure the dust extraction holes in the paper align with those in the sanding pad.

It is recommended to preset the oscillation rate of the MAKITA TM001G to between 4 and 6 for cutting operations.

Place the application tool of the MAKITA TM001G on the workpiece and move the tool forward such that the tool’s movement does not slow down. Do not move the tool forcibly in directions without a cutting edge.

No, do not reuse sanding paper used for sanding metal to sand wood with the MAKITA TM001G.

It is recommended to perform a trial run on a test material sample with the MAKITA TM001G to determine the best oscillation rate before starting the actual work.

First, remove the holder bolt and application tool from the MAKITA TM001G. Align the latches on the dust attachment with the notches on the tool, then slide the attachment into place. Finally, reinstall the sanding pad and holder bolt, and connect the vacuum cleaner hose.

No, do not use the dust extraction attachment on the MAKITA TM001G when sanding metal, as sucking up sparks and hot particles can lead to smoking and ignition.

To remove the dust attachment, first remove the holder bolt and sanding pad from the MAKITA TM001G. Then, slide the dust attachment while opening the latches by hand to remove it from the tool.

Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol, or similar chemicals to clean the MAKITA TM001G, as these can cause discoloration, deformation, or cracks.

Yes, before operating the MAKITA TM001G, ensure there are no buried objects in the workpiece, such as electric, water, or gas pipes, to avoid the risk of electric shock, leakage, or gas leaks.

Always let a hot battery cartridge for the MAKITA TM001G cool down before attempting to charge it.

The typical A-weighted sound pressure levels (LpA) for the MAKITA TM001G are as follows: Sanding: 72 dB(A), Cutting with plunge cut saw blade: 75 dB(A), Cutting with segmental saw blade: 79 dB(A), and Scraping: 74 dB(A). The uncertainty (K) for all is 3 dB(A). Note that the noise level under working conditions may exceed 80 dB(A).

The vibration total value (ah) for the MAKITA TM001G in all work modes (Sanding, Cutting with plunge cut saw blade, Cutting with segmental saw blade, and Scraping) is 2.5 m/s2 or less, with an uncertainty (K) of 1.5 m/s2.

If the MAKITA TM001G is not going to be used for a long period, the battery should be removed. It is also recommended to charge the battery if it is not used for more than six months.

Do not touch the application tool or the workpiece immediately after operation of the MAKITA TM001G, as they may be extremely hot and could cause burns.

Do not carry the MAKITA TM001G while it is running. Accidental contact with the rotating accessory could result in personal injury.

No, the MAKITA TM001G is not waterproofed. Do not expose it to rain or wet conditions, and do not use water on the workpiece surface.

Always ensure that there are no cracks or signs of breakage on the sanding pad of the MAKITA TM001G before use.

No, do not wear cloth work gloves when operating the MAKITA TM001G, as they may become entangled in the moving parts.

Do not allow chips, dust, or soil to become stuck in the terminals, holes, or grooves of the MAKITA TM001G battery cartridge, as this may cause heating, fire, or malfunction.

Do not use the MAKITA TM001G battery near high-voltage electrical power lines unless the tool is specifically designed for such use, as it may cause a malfunction or breakdown.

No, only use genuine Makita batteries with the MAKITA TM001G. Using non-genuine or altered batteries may result in the battery bursting, leading to fires, personal injury, and damage.

The MAKITA TM001G battery cartridge should be charged at a room temperature between 10 °C and 40 °C (50 °F and 104 °F).

Do not use a damaged battery cartridge for the MAKITA TM001G. Furthermore, do not incinerate the battery even if it is severely damaged, as it can explode in a fire.

The MAKITA TM001G is equipped with constant speed control to provide a constant oscillation rate regardless of load conditions.

Yes, the MAKITA TM001G is equipped with a soft start feature which reduces the starting reaction.

No, do not use accessories for the MAKITA TM001G that are not specifically designed and recommended by the manufacturer. Just because an accessory can be attached does not ensure safe operation.

If the operating time for the MAKITA TM001G becomes excessively short, stop using the tool immediately. Using it further may result in overheating, possible burns, or an explosion.
