Makita BJR240 Adjusting shoe, Switch action, Speed change

Adjusting shoe

When the blade loses its cutting efficiency in one place along

its cutting edge, reposition the shoe to utilize a sharp, unused

portion of its cutting edge. This will help to lengthen the life of

the blade. To reposition the shoe, loosen the lever counter-

clockwise and slide the shoe forward or back to the desired

position. Then tighten the lever clockwise to firmly secure the

shoe.

CAUTION:

•Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the switch trigger actuates

properly and returns to the “OFF” position when

released.

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a

lock-off button is provided.

To start the tool, press in the lock-off button and pull the

switch trigger. The lock-off button can be pressed in from

either left or right side of the tool. Tool speed is increased by

increasing pressure on the switch trigger. Release the switch

trigger to stop.

CAUTION:

•Always set the speed change lever fully to the correct

position. If you operate the tool with the speed change

lever positioned half-way, the tool may be damaged.

•Do not use the speed change lever while the tool is

running. The tool may be damaged.

To change the speed, first switch off the tool and then slide

the speed change lever to the A side (2) for high speed or B

side (1) for low speed. Be sure that the speed change lever is

set to the correct position before operation. Use the right

speed for your job.
