Using the Makita 5377MG circular saw is straightforward. First, make sure the power is off and the blade is properly installed with the included hex blade wrench. When you're ready to cut, adjust the cutting depth and bevel angle according to your needs. You can use the positive stops at 22.5 and 45 degrees for common angles. Plug it into a 120V power source and start the saw. Let it reach full speed before making the cut. For safety, always wear protective gear like goggles and gloves. Avoid using the saw in wet conditions. When it comes to maintenance, since it has oil bath technology, you don't need to add oil. But regularly check the blade for any signs of wear and tear. If the blade is dull, replace it with a new carbide - tipped blade. Also, keep the saw clean from dust and debris after each use. Store it in a dry place when not in use.
