20 Most Recent Makita JR3050T Recipro Saw 9 Amp Questions & Answers

They are one of the hardest to remove - we usually clamp the end of the boot in a vise and using a couple screwdrivers from the handle end, turn the boot inside out and peel it off.

Put a blade in it.
This will release the locked open feature.

Hi marill469,

Here is a website where you can download the owner's manual for your saw: http://www.retrevo.com/d/ds/progress?doc=e045b5a9143e1e2ea028b778addd77ca&rk=0.7594880065395843

The instructions for blade insertion and removal are on page 7.

As far as I know, there is no upside down on a recip saw blade. You can use it either way. Upside down allows you to get the blade in tighter spaces due to the shape of the saw.

Hope this helps. If it does, I'd appreciate your vote. Thanks,

For the most part they do vibrate, that's why it is good to make use of the blade guard when cutting. It cuts back on the vibration. I have hand to use a saw without having that guard against what I was cutting and I thought I was going to have my arm fall off. You may want to check to see that the blade and that part the blade goes into are nice and tight. I've used many saws on different jobs, the best brand of saw for the vibration standpoint that I've found is Craftsman.

They have some power that's for sure. Different blades work on different surfaces. Make sure the blade is in and all the way and tight.

toolpartsdirect.com,,,schematics and parts

The replacement switch, is it Makita and was it a direct replacement for the original part? That could make a difference. I looked at the schematics for this tool and they do not furnish the wiring codes but I think you are on the right track. To make sure though I would call Makitas tech support people at 1-800-4625482 and have a wiring explosion sent to you. Let me know if you still need more help and I will contact them or call a local dealer that I know.

Just join the two wires together if they work by providing current, or disconnect if they work by being open circuit. Microswitches are normally safety related so bypassing them is not recommended. Just replace the switch if it is faulty. £13.99 https://www.google.com/search?q=microswitches+on+makita+LB1200F+bandsaw ..

If you have removed the kerf boards and the center bolt the saw will lift straight off the turn base. It is possible the aluminum is deformed a little, but it will pull straight up and off if that bolt is out
