11 ENGLISHCAUTION: If the lever does not move to the fixedposition, the blade is not installed completely. Do notpress the lever by hand to the fixed position. It maydamage the tool.To remove the jig saw blade, push the lever forward asfar as it will go. This allows the blade to be released.► Fig.8: 1. Jig saw blade holder 2. Jig saw bladeNOTE: Occasionally lubricate the roller.Hex wrench storage► Fig.9: 1. Hook 2. Hex wrenchWhen not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in thefigure to keep it from being lost.First, insert the hex wrench into the hole. Then push itinto the hook until it locked.OPERATIONCAUTION: Always hold the base flush withthe workpiece. Failure to do so may cause jig sawblade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.CAUTION: Advance the tool very slowly whencutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the tool maycause a slanted cutting surface and jig saw bladebreakage.► Fig.10: 1. Cutting line 2. BaseTurn the tool on without the jig saw blade making anycontact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Thenrest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move thetool forward along the previously marked cutting line.Bevel cuttingCAUTION: Always be sure that the tool isswitched off and the battery cartridge is removedbefore tilting the base.With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at anyangle between 0° and 45° (left or right).► Fig.11Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hexwrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned inthe center of the cross-shaped slot in the base.► Fig.12: 1. Hex wrench 2. Bolt 3. BaseTilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained.The edge of the motor housing indicates the bevelangle by graduations. Then tighten the bolt to securethe base.► Fig.13: 1. Edge 2. GraduationFront flush cuts► Fig.14: 1. Hex wrench 2. Bolt 3. BaseLoosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hexwrench and slide the base all the way back. Thentighten the bolt to secure the base.CutoutsCutouts can be made with either of two methods“Boring a starting hole” or “Plunge cutting”.Boring a starting hole► Fig.15For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge,pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diameter.Insert the jig saw blade into this hole to start your cut.Plunge cutting► Fig.16You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cutif you carefully do as follows.1. Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with the jigsaw blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface.2. Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge ofthe base will not move when you switch on the tool andgently lower the back end of the tool slowly.3. As the jig saw blade pierces the workpiece, slowlylower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface.4. Complete the cut in the normal manner.Finishing edges► Fig.17To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run thejig saw blade lightly along the cut edges.Metal cuttingAlways use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cuttingmetal. Failure to do so will cause significant jig sawblade wear. The underside of the workpiece can begreased instead of using a coolant.Dust extractionClean cutting operations can be performed by connect-ing this tool to a Makita vacuum cleaner.Installing or removing the dust coverInstall the dust cover as shown in the figure.► Fig.18: 1. Dust coverTo remove the dust cover, press one side of the cover,and then remove it as shown in the figure.► Fig.19: 1.
