CAUTION:
•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before installing or
removing the blade.
•Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to install or
remove the blade. Failure to do so may result in
overtightening or insufficient tightening of the hex bolt.
This could cause an injury.
Lock the handle in the raised position by pushing in the stop-
per pin.
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen the
hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it counterclock-
