Using the Makita GBP01M1 is a breeze. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Insert the battery into the saw. Then, adjust the blade speed using the variable speed dial and trigger based on the material you're cutting. You can use the blade tracking dial to fine - tune the blade for better cutting. If you need to cut flush to a surface, adjust the stopper plate. When you're done cutting, use the electric brake to stop the blade quickly. For safety, always keep the switch locked when not in use. This prevents accidental start - up, especially when inserting the battery. Also, don't use the saw in wet conditions unless it's necessary, even though it has XPT™ for some water resistance. To maintain your saw, keep it clean. After use, remove any debris from the blade and the housing. Store the saw in a dry place. Check the blade regularly for wear and replace it when it's dull. Keep the battery charged and store it in a cool, dry place. If you need to adjust the stopper plate, use the on - board wrench. This will help keep your saw in top - notch condition and ensure it lasts for a long time.
