Using Your Makita Metal Cutting Saw: First, make sure you have a compatible 18V LXT Lithium - Ion battery (sold separately). Insert the battery into the saw. When cutting, place the material you want to cut on a stable surface. Line up the blade with the cutting mark. Hold the saw firmly with the soft - grip handles and start the saw. Let the Automatic Speed Change technology do its job to adjust the speed and torque as needed. The dual LED lights will help you see the work area clearly. Remember to use the electric brake to stop the blade quickly when you're done cutting. Safety First: Always wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying chips. Don't touch the blade immediately after use as it can be hot. Make sure the saw is turned off and the battery is removed before doing any maintenance. Maintenance Tips: After each use, clean the saw. Wipe off any metal chips, especially from the stainless - steel base. Check the blade regularly for wear and tear. If the blade is dull, replace it with a new 5 - 7/8 - inch 32T carbide - tipped saw blade for metal. Keep the battery in a cool, dry place. When charging, use the Rapid Optimum Charger (sold separately) to optimize the battery life.
