Operation; Optional Accessories; Maintenance - Makita DJR187 Instruction Manual

NOTE: If you remove the recipro saw blade without
rotating the blade clamp lever fully, the lever may not
be locked in the released position
rotate the blade clamp lever fully again, then make
sure that the blade clamp lever locked at the released
position .
NOTE: If the blade clamp lever is positioned inside
the tool, switch on the tool just a second to let the
blade out. Remove the battery cartridge from the tool
before installing or removing the recipro saw blade.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always press the shoe firmly
against the workpiece during operation. If the
shoe is removed or held away from the workpiece
during operation, strong vibration and/or twisting will
be produced, causing the blade to snap dangerously.
CAUTION:
Always wear gloves to protect
your hands from hot flying chips when cutting
metal.
CAUTION:
Be sure to always wear suitable
eye protection which conforms with current
national standards.
CAUTION:
Always use a suitable coolant
(cutting oil) when cutting metal. Failure to do so will
cause premature blade wear.
CAUTION:
Do not quirk the blade during
cutting.
Press the shoe firmly against the workpiece. Do not
allow the tool to bounce. Bring the recipro saw blade
into light contact with the workpiece. First, make a pilot
groove using a slower speed. Then use a faster speed
to continue cutting.

NOTICE:
Do not cut the workpiece with the shoe
away from the workpiece or without the shoe.

break the recipro saw blade.

switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
