10 ENGLISH
Do not use a lock with a shank or cable any
smaller than 6.35 mm (1/4") in diameter. A
smaller shank or cable may not properly lock the
tool in the off position and unintentional oper-
ation may occur resulting in serious personal
injury.
NEVER use tool without a fully operative
switch trigger. Any tool with an inoperative
switch is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be
repaired before further usage or serious per-
sonal injury may occur.
For your safety, this tool is equipped with a lock-
off button which prevents the tool from unin-
tended starting. 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 fur-
ther usage.
NEVER defeat the lock-off button by taping
down or some other means. A switch with a
defeated lock-off button may result in uninten-
tional operation and serious personal injury.
The blade brake system is not a substitute
for the blade guard. Never use tool without a
functioning blade guard. An unguarded blade
may result in serious personal injury.
Before the first use, install two AA dry cells in the
cell box. Refer to the section titled "Replacing
the dry cells for laser unit" for the installment.
When not in use, be sure to turn off the laser
