Using the Makita XBP03Z is a breeze. First, make sure you have a fully charged 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion battery. Insert the battery into the saw, and you're ready to go. To cut, place the material you want to cut under the blade and use the adjustable material stopper plate for support. Turn on the saw and start cutting at a steady pace. The built-in L.E.D. light will help you see the work area clearly. When you need to change the blade, use the 'tool-less' blade change lever for quick and easy blade replacement. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves. Don't use the saw if it's damaged. When not in use, hang the saw on the tool hook to keep it secure. To maintain the saw, keep the blade clean and sharp. Check the blade tracking regularly and use the exterior blade adjustment if needed. Store the saw in a dry place. Also, when charging the battery, use the Rapid Optimum Charger. It will communicate with the battery's built-in chip to optimize battery life and has a built-in fan for faster charging.
