Removing or installing blade
Fig.6
CAUTION:
Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing
•
up at the front of the tool.
Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove
•
the blade.
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the
blade cannot revolve and use the wrench to loosen the
hex bolt counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt,
outer flange and blade.
To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in
reverse. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT
CLOCKWISE SECURELY.
Fig.7
When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper
and lower blade guards of accumulated chips and
particles. Such efforts do not, however, replace the
need to check lower guard operation before each use.
Hex wrench storage
Fig.8
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until
•
it locks in place. If you can see the red part on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If
not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing
injury to you or someone around you.
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
•
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
•
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
Never twist or force the tool in the cut. This may
•
cause motor
kickback, resulting in serious injury to the operator.
Always wear eye protection or goggle before
•
operation.
Fig.9
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding the tool, they cannot be cut by
the blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut
without the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool
on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now
simply move the tool forward over the workpiece
surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the
cutting is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your cutting line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly
follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or
force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the
blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible
serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and
then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start
cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes

overload and/or a dangerous
