(teeth facing forward) into the jig saw blade holder until
it latches. The jig saw blade clamp lever moves to the
fixed position by itself and the jig saw blade is locked.
Make sure that the back edge of the jig saw blade fits
into the roller. Pull the jig saw blade lightly to make sure
that the jig saw blade does not fall off during operation.

CAUTION:
Do not open the tool opener exces-
sively, or it may cause tool damage.
To remove the jig saw blade, open the tool opener
forward as far as it will go. This allows the jig saw blade
to be released.

NOTE: In case that it is difficult to remove the jig saw
blade:
Turn the cutting action changing lever to the position
"III" and slightly switch on the tool several times so
that the jig saw blade holder moves to the bottom.
Make sure the jig saw blade clamp lever is in the fixed
position when switch on the tool.
Remove the battery cartridge from the tool before
installing or removing the jig saw blade.
NOTE: Occasionally lubricate the roller.
Hex wrench storage
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.

Cover plate
Use the cover plate when cutting decorative veneers,
plastics, etc. It protects sensitive or delicate surfaces
from damage. Fit it on the bottom of the tool base.

Anti-splintering device
CAUTION:
The anti-splintering device cannot
be used when making bevel cuts.
For splinter-free cuts, the anti-splintering device can
be used. To install the anti-splintering device, move the
tool base all the way forward and fit it from the bottom
of tool base.
When you use the cover plate, install the anti-splintering
device onto the cover plate.

Dust extraction

Optional accessory
The dust nozzle is recommended to perform clean
cutting operations.
To attach the dust nozzle on the tool, insert the hook of
dust nozzle into the hole in the base.
► Fig.13: 1. Dust nozzle 2. Base
To secure the dust nozzle, tighten the clamp screw at
the front of the dust nozzle. The dust nozzle can be
installed on either left or right side of the base.

Then connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to the dust
nozzle.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always hold the base flush with
the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause jig saw
blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.
CAUTION:
Advance the tool very slowly when
cutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the tool may
cause a slanted cutting surface and jig saw blade
breakage.
Turn the tool on without the jig saw blade making any
contact and wait until the jig saw blade attains full
speed. Then rest the base flat on the workpiece and
gently move the tool forward along the previously
marked cutting line.

Bevel cutting

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before tilting the base.
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).
► Fig.17
To tilt the base, loosen the bolt on the bottom of the
base with the hex wrench. Move the base so that the
bolt is positioned in the center of the bevel slot in the
base.
► Fig.18: 1. Hex wrench 2. Bolt 3. Base
Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained.
The V-notch of the gear housing indicates the bevel
angle by graduations. Then tighten the bolt firmly to
secure the base.

Front flush cuts
Loosen the bolt on the bottom of the base with the
hex wrench and slide the base all the way back. Then
tighten the bolt to secure the base.
