Maintenance Tips

• Clean After Use: Wipe saw body, base plate, and vents with a dry cloth to remove sawdust and debris — keeping airflow clear helps prevent overheating and maintains performance.

• Blade Care: Always check and replace jig saw blades when dull or damaged; clean chips from blade clamp before installing for secure, accurate cutting.

• Tool‑Less Blade Change: Use the tool‑less blade change system correctly; keep the blade clamp free of debris to ensure smooth, reliable blade retention.

• Inspect Fasteners: Regularly check that the base plate and any fasteners are tight — loose parts affect cut accuracy and tool stability.

• Battery Best Practices: Use genuine Makita 40V Max XGT batteries, charge before full discharge, and store them in cool, dry conditions to extend life.

• Safe Storage: Disconnect the battery before storing, and keep the tool in a dry, dust‑free place to prevent corrosion and preserve internal components
