1. Cutting wax
It is important to keep at least two teeth in the cut. Select the
004747
proper cutting position for your workpiece by referring to the
figure.
Hold the tool as shown in the figure with the stopper plate
005916
contacting the workpiece and the blade clear of the work-
piece.
Turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed.
Gently lower the blade into the cut. The weight of the tool or
slightly pressing the tool will supply adequate pressure for
the cutting. Do not force the tool.
As you reach the end of a cut, release pressure and, without
actually raising the tool, lift it slightly so that it will not fall
against the workpiece.
CAUTION:
• Applying excessive pressure to the tool or twisting of the
blade may cause bevel cutting or damage to the blade.
• When not using the tool for a long period of time, remove
the blade from the tool.
When cutting metals, use Makita cutting wax as a cutting
005903
lubricant. To apply the cutting wax to the blade teeth, start
the tool and cut in to the cutting wax as shown in the figure
after removing a cap of the cutting wax.
CAUTION:
• Never use cutting oil or apply excessive amount of wax
to the blade. It may cause the blade to slip or come off
unexpectedly.
