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 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 han-
dle 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 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.
