Using your Makita XRJ01T reciprocating saw is easy. First, make sure you have a fully - charged 18V LXT Lithium - Ion battery with a Star symbol. Insert the battery into the saw. To start, use either the paddle or trigger switch according to your preference. You can adjust the speed depending on the cutting task. When you need to change the blade, use the tool - less blade change system for quick replacement. Always work in a well - lit area, and the built - in LED light can help if needed. Remember to only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. After use, store the saw in a dry place. Periodically check the battery charge level using the integrated LED indicator on the battery. If the saw starts to feel hot or if there are any signs of overloading, stop using it immediately. This will protect the tool and the battery, thanks to the STAR Protection system. For long - term performance, keep the saw clean and free of debris. The Rapid Optimum Charger will keep your battery in good condition, but don't over - charge it. With proper use and maintenance, your saw will serve you well for years.
