Cutouts
Cutouts can be made with either of two methods
“Boring a starting hole” or “Plunge cutting”.
CAUTION: If the lever does not move to the fixed
position, the blade is not installed completely. Do not
press the lever by hand to the fixed position. It may
damage the tool.
Boring a starting hole
► Fig.15
To remove the jig saw blade, push the lever forward as
far as it will go. This allows the blade to be released.

NOTE: Occasionally lubricate the roller.
For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an edge,
pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in diameter.
Insert the jig saw blade into this hole to start your cut.

Plunge cutting
► Fig.16
You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in cut
if you carefully do as follows.
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
First, insert the hex wrench into the hole. Then push it
into the hook until it locked.
1.
Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base with the jig
saw blade point positioned just above the workpiece surface.
2.
Apply pressure to the tool so that the front edge of
the base will not move when you switch on the tool and
gently lower the back end of the tool slowly.
OPERATION
3.
As the jig saw blade pierces the workpiece, slowly
lower the base of the tool down onto the workpiece surface.
4.
Complete the cut in the normal manner.
CAUTION: Always hold the base flush with
the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause jig saw
blade breakage, resulting in a serious injury.
Finishing edges
► Fig.17
CAUTION: Advance the tool very slowly when
cutting curves or scrolling. Forcing the tool may
cause a slanted cutting surface and jig saw blade
breakage.
To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the
jig saw blade lightly along the cut edges.

Metal cutting
Turn the tool on without the jig saw blade making any
contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then
rest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move the
tool forward along the previously marked cutting line.
Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting
metal. Failure to do so will cause significant jig saw
blade wear. The underside of the workpiece can be
greased instead of using a coolant.
Bevel cutting
Dust extraction
Optional accessory
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before tilting the base.
Clean cutting operations can be performed by connect-
ing this tool to a Makita vacuum cleaner.
With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any
angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).

Installing or removing the dust cover
Install the dust cover as shown in the figure.
► Fig.18: 1. Dust cover
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in
the center of the cross-shaped slot in the base.

To remove the dust cover, press one side of the cover,
and then remove it as shown in the figure.

Installing or removing the dust nozzle
Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained.
The edge of the motor housing indicates the bevel
angle by graduations. Then tighten the bolt to secure
the base.

Insert the dust nozzle all the way into the tool.

To remove the dust nozzle, pull out the dust nozzle
while pressing the button on the dust nozzle.

Connecting the tool to the vacuum cleaner
Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex
wrench and slide the base all the way back. Then
tighten the bolt to secure the base.
Connect the hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle.
