14.  Do not cut in zigzags, curves, diagonals, or use 

the side of the blade to prise or for any other 

purpose.

15.  If during cutting, there is an abnormal sound, 

abnormal vibration, or if the cutting parts are badly 

worn, stop operation.

 

Continuing the operation under such conditions 

will damage the Tipped Saw blades with the result 

that chips may be ejected causing serious per

-

sonal injury.

16.  Continuous operation makes the Tipped Saw 

blades hot and reduces the cutting performances.

Maintenance

17.  If there is deformation, a crack or damage on the 

Tipped Saw, stop the operation. Continuing the 

operation under such conditions will further dam-

age the Tipped Saw which may break up. Ejected 

broken parts can cause serious personal injury.

18.  Only keep and use Tipped Saws that are in good 

condition and the blades sharp and clean.

WARNING:

 

Always wear protective equip-

ment; safety glasses, safety shoes, dust mask 

and helmet.

WARNING:

 

Use only Makita supplied Tipped 

Saw. Using non Makita parts may damage the tool 

and can result in serious accident or injury.

Important safety instructions for 

battery cartridge

1. 

Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-

tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery 

charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using 

battery.

2. 

Do not disassemble battery cartridge.

3. 

If operating time has become excessively 

shorter, stop operating immediately. It may 

result in a risk of overheating, possible burns 

and even an explosion.

4. 

If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them 

out with clear water and seek medical atten-

tion right away. It may result in loss of your 

eyesight.

5.  Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1) 

Do not touch the terminals with any con-

ductive material.

(2) 

Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-

tainer with other metal objects such as 

nails, coins, etc.

(3) 

Do not expose battery cartridge to water 

or rain.

 

A battery short can cause a large current 

flow, overheating, possible burns and even a 

breakdown.

6. 

Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in 

locations where the temperature may reach or 

exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

7. 

Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if 

it is severely damaged or is completely worn 

out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.

8. 

Be careful not to drop or strike battery.

9. 

Do not use a damaged battery.

10. 

The contained lithium-ion batteries are sub-

ject to the Dangerous Goods Legislation 

requirements.

 

For commercial transports e.g. by third parties, 

forwarding agents, special requirement on pack-

aging and labeling must be observed.

 

For preparation of the item being shipped, consult

-

ing an expert for hazardous material is required.

 

Please also observe possibly more detailed 

national regulations.

 

Tape or mask off open contacts and pack up the 

battery in such a manner that it cannot move 

around in the packaging.

11. 

Follow your local regulations relating to dis-

posal of battery.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

CAUTION:

 

Only use genuine Makita batteries. 

Use of non-genuine Makita batteries, or batteries that 

have been altered, may result in the battery burst-

ing causing fires, personal injury and damage. It will 

also void the Makita warranty for the Makita tool and 

charger.

Tips for maintaining maximum 

battery life

1. 

Charge the battery cartridge before completely 

discharged. Always stop tool operation and 

charge the battery cartridge when you notice 

less tool power.

2. 

Never recharge a fully charged battery car-

tridge. Overcharging shortens the battery 

service life.

3. 

Charge the battery cartridge with room temper-

ature at 10 °C - 40 °C (50 °F - 104 °F). Let a hot 

battery cartridge cool down before charging it.

4. 

Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use 

it for a long period (more than six months).
