rotate the blade clamp lever fully again, then make
sure that the blade clamp lever locked at the released
position .
NOTE: If the blade clamp lever is positioned inside
the tool, switch on the tool just a second to let the

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always hold the tool firmly with
one hand on insulation cover and the other on the
switch handle.
CAUTION:
Always press the shoe firmly
against the workpiece during operation. If the
shoe is removed or held away from the workpiece
during operation, strong vibration and/or twisting will
be produced, causing the blade to snap dangerously.
CAUTION:
Always wear gloves to protect
your hands from hot flying 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
(cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will
cause premature blade wear.
CAUTION:
Do not quirk the blade during
cutting.
Press the shoe firmly 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.
NOTICE:
Do not cut the workpiece with the shoe
away from the workpiece or without the shoe.
Doing so increases the reaction force which may
break the recipro saw blade.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
