Using your Makita 40V max XGT Brushless Deep Cut Portable Band Saw is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged and properly inserted. Before starting, adjust the blade speed using the variable speed dial and trigger according to the material you're cutting. If you need to adjust the blade tracking, use the blade tracking dial. To cut, simply turn on the saw and start guiding it through the material. For flush - to - surface cutting, adjust the stopper plate. When it comes to changing the blade, use the tool - less blade change lever for a quick swap. Remember to always wear safety gear like goggles and gloves. Never insert the battery when the switch is locked on to avoid accidental starts. Keep the saw clean and dry, especially if you've been working in dusty or wet conditions. Regularly check the blade for wear and tear and replace it when necessary. Store the saw in a cool, dry place and keep the battery charged when not in use. If the saw is overloaded, it has built - in overload protection, but try to avoid such situations for longer motor life. Also, use the on - board wrench storage to keep the stopper plate adjustment easy and convenient.
