OPERATION
This tool is intended to cut wood products. With appropriate Makita
genuine saw blades, following materials can also be sawed :
— Aluminum products
Refer to our website or contact your local Makita dealer for the
correct circular saw blades to be used for the material to be cut.
WARNING:
Make sure the circular saw blade
is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the
switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the
circular saw blade in contact with the workpiece may
result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
After a cutting operation, do not
raise the circular saw blade until it has come to a
complete stop.
The raising of a coasting blade may result
in serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not perform any adjustment such
as turning grip, levers, stopper pin on the tool while the
circular saw blade is rotating.
Adjustment while the circular
saw blade is rotating may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to release the
handle from the lowered position by turning the
stopper lever.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting.
Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi
-
ciency. Press down handle with only as much force as
necessary for smooth cutting and without significant
decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut.
If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the circular saw blade
may vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the work-
piece and the precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the
carriage toward the guide fence without stopping.
If the carriage movement stops during the cut, a mark
may be left in the workpiece and the precision of the
cut may be impaired.
