[. . . ] Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses. Inspect workpiece for any nails and remove them before operation. [. . . ] The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to operate because of the following features. 7 • When you remove the saw blade, be careful not to hurt your fingers with the top of the blade or the tips of workpiece. To install the blade, open the tool opener to the position shown in the figure. 4) Keeping that situation, insert the saw blade into the blade clamp as far as the two protrusions of the blade can not be seen. 5) Return the tool opener to its original position. After installing, always make sure that the blade is securely held in place by trying to pull it out. CAUTION: • Do not open the tool opener excessively, or it may cause tool damage. To remove the blade, open the tool opener to the position shown in the figure. B) Plunge cutting: You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut if you carefully do as follows. Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with the blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface. Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of the base will not move when you switch on the tool and gently lower the back end of the tool slowly. As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly lower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface. 15) To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the blade lightly along the cut edges. Metal cutting Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting metal. failure to do so will cause significant blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead of using a coolant. 7) When not in use, the hex wrench can be conveniently stored. Then connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle. OPERATION CAUTION: • Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the switch handle and the other hand on the front grip when performing the tool. € Always hold the base flush with the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury. Turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. [. . . ] 25) CAUTION: • Always use blades No. 26) Use the cover plate when cutting decorative veneers, plastics, etc. it protects sensitive or delicate surfaces from damage. 27) For splinter-free cuts, the anti-splintering device can be used.
