Apply the band saw blade to the suitable cutting posi-
tion on the workpiece as illustrated.
1.
Hold the tool as illustrated.
Before turning on the tool, always make sure that the
stopper plate contacts the workpiece and the band saw
blade is clear of the workpiece.
2.
Turn the tool on. 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.
3.
As you reach the end of a cut, release pressure
and lift the tool slightly so that the tool will not fall
against the workpiece.
NOTICE:
Applying excessive pressure to the
tool or twisting of the band saw blade may cause
bevel cutting or damage to the blade.
NOTICE:
When not using the tool for a long
period of time, remove the band saw blade from
the tool.
NOTICE:
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
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Never use cutting oil or apply
excessive amount of wax to the band saw blade. It
may cause the blade to slip or come off unexpectedly.
CAUTION:
When cutting cast iron, do not use
any cutting wax.
When cutting metals, use Makita cutting wax as a cut-
ting lubricant. To apply the cutting wax to the teeth of
the band saw blade, remove a cap of the cutting wax,
start the tool and cut into the cutting wax as illustrated.
