How to Check the Power Cord for Makita Tools
If you’re using a Makita tool, maintaining it in good condition is essential for safety and performance. One of the key components to check regularly is the power cord. A damaged power cord can lead to electrical shocks, tool malfunctions, or even fires. Here’s a straightforward guide on how to check the power cord of your Makita tool, helping you ensure a safe and effective working environment. Why Check the Power Cord? The power cord connects your tool to the electrical supply. Over time, it can become frayed, cracked, or otherwise damaged. Regular checks can prevent accidents and ensure your tool operates smoothly. Steps to Check the Power Cord
- Visual Inspection
Unplug the Tool: Always ensure the tool is unplugged before inspecting the power cord. This is crucial for your safety. Look for Damage: Examine the entire length of the cord for any visible signs of wear, such as cuts, frays, or exposed wires. Pay close attention to the area near the plug and where the cord enters the tool. Check Connections: Ensure the plug connections are secure with no signs of wear. 2.

Flex the Cord
Gently Flex the Cord: Bend the cord at various points to identify any hidden breaks. If you notice any changes in the power indicator (if applicable) or hear crackling sounds, the cord is likely damaged. 3. Use a Multimeter
Testing for Continuity: If you have a multimeter, set it to the continuity setting. Probe the Ends: Place one probe on the prong of the plug and the other on the end of the cord. A continuous beep indicates good connectivity. If there’s no beep, your cord may be cut internally. Check Each Wire: Make sure to test each wire inside and exit points of the cord to ensure every section is functioning properly. 4. Look for Indicator Lights
If your Makita tool has indicator lights, plug it in after performing the above checks. If the power indicator light does not illuminate when the tool is plugged in, there might be an issue with the power cord, even if it looks fine. 5. Professional Help
Seek Assistance: If you find any damage or if the tool does not start, it’s best to contact a Makita Authorized Service Center. Attempting to repair it yourself may pose safety risks unless you have proper training.
