2. Turn the tool on and wait until the band saw blade
attains full speed. Gently lower the blade into the cut.
The weight of the tool or slightly pressing the tool will
supply adequate pressure for the cutting. Do not force
the tool.
3. As you reach the end of a cut, release pres-
sure and lift it slightly so that it will not fall against the
workpiece.
NOTICE:
Applying excessive pressure to the
tool or twisting of the band saw blade may cause
bevel cutting or damage to the blade.
NOTICE:
When not using the tool for a long
period of time, remove the band saw blade from
the tool.
NOTICE:
If the tool is operated continuously
until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow
the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding
with a fresh battery.
Adjusting blade track
When the band saw blade tends to slip out from the
wheel, adjust the blade track.
To adjust, insert the hex wrench into the adjustment
hole as illustrated and make a quarter turn clockwise.
After that, check if the band saw blade does not slip out.
If it still slips out, make another quarter turn and check
until the band saw blade does not slip out.

CAUTION:
Never use cutting oil or apply
excessive amount of wax to the band saw blade. It
may cause the blade to slip or come off unexpectedly.

When cutting metals, use Makita cutting wax as a cut-
ting lubricant. To apply the cutting wax to the teeth of
the band saw blade, remove a cap of the cutting wax,
start the tool and cut into the cutting wax as illustrated.
