Using this Makita circular saw is easy. First, make sure you have a compatible 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion battery with the Star symbol (battery sold separately). Insert the battery into the saw. Hold the saw firmly with the rubberized soft grip handle. Turn on the saw and start cutting. The built-in LED light will help you see the work area, and the dust blower will keep the cutting line clear. When making bevel cuts, adjust the saw to a maximum of 50°. For blade changes, use the stowed blade wrench. Remember to only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers. After use, clean the saw with a dry cloth. Store it in a dry place. If the saw gets wet, dry it thoroughly before using it again. This saw has a 3-year limited warranty, but taking good care of it will ensure it lasts even longer.
