Symbols 

The following show the symbols used for the equipment. 
Be sure that you understand their meaning before use. 

  Read instruction manual. 

 

 DOUBLE 

INSULATION 

 

  Only for EU countries 

Do not dispose of electric equipment 
together with household waste material! 
In observance of the European Directive, 
on Waste Electric and Electronic 
Equipment and its implementation in 
accordance with national law, electric 
equipment that have reached the end of 
their life must be collected separately 
and returned to an environmentally 
compatible recycling facility. 

ENE078-2 

Intended use

 

The tool is intended for performing lengthways and 
crossways straight cuts and mitre cuts with angles in 
wood while in firm contact with the workpiece. With 
appropriate Makita genuine saw blades, other materials 
can also be sawed. 

ENF002-2 

Power supply

 

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of 
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and 
can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They 
are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used 
from sockets without earth wire. 

ENF100-1 

For public low-voltage distribution systems of 
between 220 V and 250 V.

 

Switching operations of electric apparatus cause voltage 
fluctuations. The operation of this device under 

unfavorable mains conditions can have adverse effects 
to the operation of other equipment. With a mains 
impedance equal or less than 0.37 Ohms it can be 
presumed that there will be no negative effects. The 
mains socket used for this device must be protected with 
a fuse or protective circuit breaker having slow tripping 
characteristics. 

ENG905-1 

Noise

 

The typical A-weighted noise level determined according 
to EN60745: 

   

Sound pressure level (L

pA

) : 89 dB (A) 

Sound power level (L

WA

) : 100 dB (A) 

Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB (A) 

     

Wear ear protection

 

 

ENG900-1 

Vibration 

The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) 
determined according to EN60745: 

     

Work mode : cutting wood 
Vibration emission (a

h,W

) : 3.0 m/s

Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s

     

Work mode : cutting metal 
Vibration emission (a

h,M

) : 3.0 m/s

Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s

ENG901-1 

 

• 

The declared vibration emission value has been 
measured in accordance with the standard test 
method and may be used for comparing one tool 
with another. 

• 

The declared vibration emission value may also be 
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
