Using the Makita LS1040 is quite straightforward. First, make sure you've attached all the accessories properly, like the dust bag to keep the mess down. Plug in the saw and turn it on. Use the triangular rule to measure your material accurately. For bevel cuts, set the saw to an angle up to 45° to the left. When making miter cuts, adjust the angle according to your needs, anywhere from 0 - 45° left or 0 - 52° right. The positive stops are there to help you get the exact angle you want. When you're done cutting, always turn off the saw and unplug it. As for maintenance, clean the saw regularly, especially the blade. You can use a soft brush to remove sawdust from the motor and other parts. If you need to change the blade, use the shaft lock to hold the blade steady. And always store the saw in a dry place to prevent rusting.
