Using your Makita band saw is easy. First, charge the 18V LXT lithium - ion battery fully using the included rapid optimum charger. Once charged, insert the battery into the saw. To start the saw, press the trigger switch with the lock - off feature, which requires two actions to prevent accidental starts. When cutting, hold the saw firmly with one hand, thanks to its ergonomic design and soft grip handle. The built - in LED light will help you see the work area clearly. Adjust the blade tracking dial if needed for better cutting performance. For repetitive cuts, the catch bar will stop the blade from accidentally moving through. When you need to change the blade, use the tool - less blade change lever for a quick swap. Remember, the saw has overload protection, but try not to push it in extremely high - torque situations. Always wear appropriate safety gear like goggles and gloves. After use, clean the saw with a dry cloth. Store it in a dry place and keep the battery charged. If you notice any issues, refer to the user manual or contact Makita support.
