trigger. Any tool with an inoperative switch is
HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be repaired

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.

lock-off button may result in unintentional operation
and serious personal injury.
Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly stop the blade after the
switch trigger is released, have the tool serviced at a
Makita service center.
CAUTION:
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.

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
