NOTE: If you remove the recipro saw blade without rotating the blade clamp lever fully, the lever may not be locked in the released position . In this case, 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 blade out as shown in the figure. Remove the battery cartridge from the tool before installing or removing the recipro saw blade. OPERATION 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. 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. 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.
