NOTE:
The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE:
The declared vibration total value(s) may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
The vibration emission during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value(s) depending on the ways in which
the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece
is processed.
WARNING:
Be sure to identify safety mea
-
sures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of
use (taking account of all parts of the operating
cycle such as the times when the tool is switched
off and when it is running idle in addition to the
trigger time).

-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided
with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or

Cordless Portable Band Saw Safety
Warnings
1.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring.
Cutting accessories contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
2.
Use only blades which are listed in
“SPECIFICATIONS”.
3.
Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
blade immediately.
4.
Secure the workpiece firmly. When cutting a
bundle of workpieces, be sure that all work
-
pieces are secured together firmly before
cutting.
5.
Cutting workpieces covered with oil can cause
the blade to come off unexpectedly. Wipe off
all excess oil from workpieces before cutting.
6.
Never use the cutting oil as a cutting lubricant.
Use only Makita cutting wax.
7.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
8.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9.
When cutting metal, be cautious of hot flying
chips.
10.
Do not leave the tool running unattended.
11.
Do not touch the blade or the workpiece imme-
diately after operation; they may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
12.
Before operation, make sure that there is no
buried object such as electric pipe, water pipe
or gas pipe in the working area.
Otherwise, the
band saw blade may touch them, resulting an
electric shock, electrical leakage or gas leak.
