Using the Makita 18V LXT® Metal Cutting Saw is easy. First, make sure you've got a fully - charged Makita 18V Lithium - Ion battery with the star symbol (batteries are sold separately). Insert the battery into the saw. Then, choose the right blade for your metal cutting task. Switch on the saw and start cutting at a steady pace. When using, keep an eye on the LED light to see your work clearly. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and gloves. Don't overload the saw; if it starts to slow down, reduce the pressure. After use, clean the saw with a dry cloth to remove metal shavings. Store the saw in a dry place. Only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure good performance and to maintain the 3 - year limited warranty. If you notice any issues like strange noises or reduced power, stop using the saw and have it checked by a professional.
