ENGLISH

· 

Avoid storing battery in a container with other 

metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.

· 

Do not expose battery to water or rain.

· 

Do not cut the cord.

6.

 

Do not operate the tool or charge the battery in 

explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence 

of lacquer, paint, benzin, thinner, gasoline, gasses 

or adhesive. This may cause an explosion or fire.

7.

 

Do not charge the battery on paper, cardboard, 

cloth, cushions, mats, carpets, vinyl or in the pres-

ence of dust. This may cause fire.

8.

 

Do not expose the Charger to water or metal items 

that can short out the charging terminals.

9.

 

Do not use charger for any other purpose than 

charging the battery.

10.

  Make sure tipped saw blades have no chips or 

cracks before using the tool.

11.

  Do not use water or cutting oil when cutting.

12.

  Use only Makita genuine tipped saw.

13.

  Do not leave the tool on the floor with switch 

locked on. The tool will run continuously and it 

may cause personal injury.

14.

  Do not operate the tool close to flammable and 

fragile items or personnel not necessary to the 

operation. During cutting hot debris and sparks will 

be ejected from the tool which may cause damage 

to the surroundings, fire or personal injury.

15.

  Do not cut concrete. It causes damage to the tool 

and may result in personal injury.

16.

  Check for the presence of people on the ground 

during operation in an elevated place. Any materi-

als or tools dropped may cause an accident.

17. 

If during charging, there is an abnormal generation 

of heat, stop charging immediately by disconnect-

ing the battery. Continuing charging may cause 

smoke, fire or explosion.

18.

  Do not allow anything to cover or clog the motor 

vents.

 

This may cause the motor to overheat.

19.

  When using an extension cord with the charger, 

it is recommended to use a cord with the cross 

section below and with a length as short as pos-

sible. For charging outdoors, use a cord rated for 

outdoor use.

WARNING FOR USING 

TIPPED SAW

Work area safety

1.  Ensure the Dust Bag is fixed correctly. Without the 

Dust Bag, when Tipped Saw Blades are damaged, 

pieces of the blades fly off and can cause serious 

personal injury.

2. 

Keep bystanders away from operations. Even with 

the Dust Bag fitted, damaged blades or hot debris 

can fly out of the bag, resulting in serious personal 

injury.

3.  Sparking may occur when cutting with Tipped Saw 

Blades. Do not use the tool where there is the risk 

of fire or explosion.

4.  Cutting with Tipped Saw Blades is noisy. Consider 

the work area environment.

Dress and protective equipment

5.  Wear protective equipment; safety glasses, safety 

shoes, dust mask and helmet. Even with the Dust 

Bag fitted, damaged blades or hot debris can fly 

out of the cover, resulting in personal injury.

6.  Dress properly. Do not wear a tie, loose clothing or 

knit gloves. Keep hair covered with a hair cover or 

a cap to be away from rotating blades.

Before use

7.  Ensure that Tipped Saw Blades are not deformed, 

chipped, cracked or worn-out. Do not use a Tipped 

Saw if any damage or wear is found. Cutting under 

such conditions may cause further damage to the 

blades and serious personal injury.

8.  Do not use the Tipped Saw for any application 

other than that stated in the tool specification. 

Using the Tipped Saw for other applications can 

cause excessive wear, detachment of blades, low 

cutting performance and abnormal generation of 

heat, resulting in damage to the blades and seri-

ous personal injury.

Tipped saw replacement

9.  When replacing the Tipped Saw, ensure that the 

battery is removed from the tool to prevent acci-

dental operation and personal injury.

10.  Ensure there is no one in the surroundings before 

operation and no abnormal sounds or abnormal 

vibrations occur when operating. Operating with 

abnormal sounds or abnormal vibrations can dam-

age the blades resulting in serious personal injury.

During operation

11.  Do not use the Tipped Saw for any purpose other 

than cutting. Do not subject the blades to damage 

or stress. It can break the blades resulting in seri-

ous personal injury.

12.  Hold the material firmly, in a vice or similar, so 

that it cannot move when cutting. If the material 

moves, the operation becomes unstable and 

cannot be controlled, resulting in damage to the 

blades and possible serious personal injury.

13.  Start cutting only after the Tipped Saw has 

reached maximum speed. If the Tipped Saw is set 

against the material before the motor is started, 

the blades will be overloaded and damaged, 

resulting in possible serious personal injury.
