OPERATION

This tool is intended to cut wood products. With appro-

priate 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 saw blade is not 

contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch 

is turned on.

 Turning the tool on with the blade in 

contact with the workpiece may result in kickback and 

serious personal injury.

WARNING:

 

After a cutting operation, do 

not raise the 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, knob, and levers on the tool 

while the saw blade is rotating. 

Adjustment while 

the blade is rotating may result in serious personal 

injury.

CAUTION:

 

Do not release the saw head 

uncontrolled from the fully down position.

 

Uncontrolled saw head may hit you and it will result in 

personal injury.

NOTICE:

 

Before use, be sure to unlock the stopper 

pin and release the handle from the lowered position.

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 efficiency. 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 blade may vibrate and 

leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece 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 is stopped during the cut, a 

mark will be left in the workpiece and the precision of 

the cut will be impaired.

Press cutting

WARNING:

 

Always lock the sliding movement 

of the carriage when performing a press cutting.

 

Cutting without lock may cause possible kickback 

which may result in serious personal injury.

Workpieces up to 68 mm high and 160 mm wide can be 

cut in the following manner.
