Using the Makita GSR01M1 circular saw is easy. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Insert the battery into the saw, and you're ready to go. When cutting, hold the saw firmly with both hands. Adjust the bevel angle according to your needs using the positive stops at 22.5 and 45 degrees. You can cut up to 56 degrees for more flexibility. For best results, let the saw do the work and don't force it through the material. When you're done cutting, use the electric brake to stop the blade quickly. Regarding maintenance, keep the saw clean. After each use, wipe off any dust or debris. The XPT™ technology helps protect the internal components, but it's still a good idea to avoid using the saw in extremely wet or dusty conditions if possible. Check the blade regularly for wear and replace it when it gets dull. Keep the battery charged and store it in a cool, dry place. The charger's digital display will show you the battery charge level, so you always know when it's time to recharge. And remember, this product comes with a 3 - year limited warranty, so if you have any issues, reach out to Makita.
