Battery Protection System; Installing Or Removing The Blade - Makita BPB180 Instruction Manual

Battery protection system

The tool is equipped with the protection system, which
automatically cuts off the output power for a long service
life of the battery cartridge.
When the tool is overloaded or the remaining battery
capacity gets low, the lamp flickers. Within one second
after flickering, the tool stops.
If the tool stops under no or light load, recharge or
replace the battery cartridge.

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

come off unexpectedly. Wipe off all excess oil with
a cloth before installing the blade.
Use caution when handling the blade so that you

are not cut by the sharp edge of the blade teeth.

Hold the blade in place and turn the blade-tightening
lever counterclockwise until it hits against the protrusion
on the frame. This places proper tension on the blade.
Make sure that the blade is correctly positioned within
the blade guard and around the wheels.
Start and stop the tool two or three times to make sure
that the blade runs properly on the wheels.
CAUTION:
While making sure that the blade runs on the
•
wheels properly, keep your body away from the
blade area.
To remove the blade, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
CAUTION:
When turning the blade tightening lever clockwise
•
to release the tension on the blade, point the tool
downward because the blade may come off
unexpectedly.
