The built-in LED light helps you see the work area clearly. Remember, only use genuine Makita batteries and chargers to ensure safety and performance. After each use, clean the saw to remove debris. Store it in a dry place. Check the blade regularly for wear and replace it when necessary. The saw comes with a 3-year limited warranty, so if you have any problems, contact Makita for support.
