Switch Action; Adjusting The Shoe - Makita JR3061T Instruction Manual

Recipro saw safety warnings
1. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-
ing or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the workpiece by hand or against
your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss
of control.
3. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
5. Do not cut oversize workpiece.
6. Check for the proper clearance beyond the
workpiece before cutting so that the blade will
not strike the floor, workbench, etc.
7. Hold the tool firmly.
8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. Keep hands away from moving parts.
10. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
11. Always switch off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the
blade from the workpiece.
12. Do not touch the blade or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
13. Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
14. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
15. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.

ates properly and returns to the "OFF" position

extended use. Apply caution when locking tool in
"ON" position and maintain firm grasp on tool.

Adjusting the shoe

When the recipro saw 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 recipro saw blade.
The position of the shoe can be adjusted in five levels.
To reposition the shoe, open the shoe adjusting lever and
select the suitable position, then close the shoe adjusting lever.

NOTICE:
The shoe cannot be secured if
it is extended more than the
of stamping. Do not close the shoe
adjusting lever forcibly in such a position. It may
result in breakage of the lever.
NOTE: The shoe cannot be adjusted without opening
the shoe adjusting lever fully.
Lighting up the front lamp
