Hold the tool with both hands as shown in the figure with
the stopper plate contacting the workpiece and the blade
clear of the workpiece.
CAUTION:
ONLY USE FORWARD AND REAR HANDLES
•
TO HOLD TOOL. Tool body or guards are never
to be used as grasping surfaces. Hands may slip
from these locations and contact blade. Contact
with the blade may result in personal injury.
Turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full
speed. Gently lower the blade into the cut. The weight of
the tool or slightly pressing the tool will supply adequate
pressure for the cutting. Do not force the tool.
As you reach the end of a cut, release pressure and,
without actually raising the tool, lift it slightly so that it will
not fall against the workpiece.
CAUTION:
Applying excessive pressure to the tool or twisting
•
of the blade may cause bevel cutting or damage to
the blade.
When not using the tool for a long period of time,
•
remove the blade from the tool.
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.
Cutting lubricant
When cutting metals, use Makita cutting wax as a cutting
lubricant. To apply the cutting wax to the blade teeth,
start the tool and cut in to the cutting wax as shown in
the figure after removing a cap of the cutting wax.
