WARNING:
Before installing the battery cartridge into
the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means.
A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when you
simply pull the switch trigger without pressing the lock-off
button.
A switch in need of repair may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury. Return tool to a Makita
service center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
depress the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Tool speed is increased by increasing pressure on the

Speed adjusting dial
The tool speed can be infinitely adjusted between 1.3
m/s (260 ft/min) and 3.2 m/s (630 ft/min) by turning the
adjusting dial. Higher speed is obtained when the dial
is turned in the direction of number 6; lower speed is
obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Select the proper speed for the workpiece to be cut.
NOTICE:
When changing the speed dial from "6"
to "1", turn the dial counterclockwise. Do not turn
the dial clockwise forcibly.
NOTICE:
Plastic materials may melt when cut-
ting at high speeds.

Do not look in the light or see the
