saw blades according to your work. Insert the recipro/
jig saw blade straight into the blade clamp and tighten
it by hex wrench. Pull the recipro/jig saw blade lightly to
make sure that the recipro/jig saw blade does not fall off
during operation.
To remove the recipro/jig saw blade, follow the installa-
tion procedure in reverse.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always press the shoe irmly
against the workpiece during operation. If the
shoe is held away from the workpiece during opera-
tion, strong vibration and/or twisting will be produced,
causing the blade to snap dangerously.
CAUTION: Always wear gloves to protect your
hands from hot lying chips when cutting metal.
CAUTION: Be sure to always wear suitable eye
protection which conforms with current national
standards.
CAUTION: Always use a suitable coolant (cut-
ting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will
cause premature blade wear.
Press the shoe irmly against the workpiece. Do not
allow the tool to bounce. Bring the recipro saw blade
into light contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot
groove using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed
to continue cutting.
You can use the switch lever or trigger according to your
work.
NOTE: 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.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
