WARNING:
•
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle,
always be sure that the correct ring for the
blade's arbor hole you intend to use is installed
between the inner and the outer flanges.
Use of
the incorrect arbor hole ring may result in the
improper mounting of the blade causing blade
movement and severe vibration resulting in
possible loss of control during operation and in
serious personal injury.

When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install the
dust nozzle on the tool using the screw. Then connect a
hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle as shown
in the figure.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
•
Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until it
locks in place. If you can see the red part on the
upper side of the button, it is not locked completely.
Insert it fully until the red part cannot be seen. If not,
it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury
to you or someone around you.
•
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
•
If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.

Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip
and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If both
hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the blade. Set
the base on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making
any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the
workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly
until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow your
intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool back to
the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and lead to dangerous
kickback and possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for
blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut
line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which
exposes operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from
saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
