USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to recipro saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.
When the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place along its cutting edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a sharp, unused portion of its cutting edge. This will help to lengthen the life of the blade. To reposition the shoe, loosen the two bolts holding the shoe and slide the shoe forward or back to the desired position. Then tighten the two bolts to firmly secure the shoe.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it.
To install the blade, loosen the screw on the blade clamp with the hex wrench. Insert the blade between the blade clamp and the slider so that the pin on the slider fits into the hole in the blade shank. If the pin cannot easily fit into the hole, remove the hex wrench from the screw and then try again. After the pin fits properly into the hole, tighten the screw clockwise securely while making sure that the blade cannot be extracted even though you try to pull it out.
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in reverse.
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not allow the tool to bounce. Bring the blade into light contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot groove using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed to continue cutting.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
If you need any assistance for more details regarding these accessories, ask your local Makita service center.
