CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a
lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, slide the lock-off
lever and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to
stop.
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
work on the tool.

• Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the

To remove the blade, press the blade stopper pin and insert it
through the hole in the blade so that the blade cannot revolve
and use the wrench to loosen the hex bolt counterclockwise.
Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange and blade.
To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in reverse.

When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper and

not, however, replace the need to check lower guard opera-
