overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
NOTE:
• When the battery cartridge temperature is low, the tool
may not work to its full capacity.
• At this time, for example, use the tool for a light-duty
cut for a while until the battery cartridge warms up as
high as room temperature. Then, the tool can work to
its full capacity. (Fig. 18)
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip (motor housing) and rear handle. Use both to best
grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot
be cut by the blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be
cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn the
tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now
simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface,
keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is
completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow
your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the
tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and
lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury.
Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdraw
tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again.
Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to
chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye
protection to help avoid injury.
Rip fence (Guide rule) (optional
accessory) (Fig. 19)
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with the
screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated
cuts of uniform width possible.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

NOTE:
• Some items in the list may be included in the tool
package as standard accessories. They may differ from
country to country.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN62841:
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
• The declared noise emission value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared noise emission value(s) may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• Wear ear protection.
• The noise 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.
• Be sure to identify safety measures 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).
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN62841:
Work mode: cutting wood
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
• 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.
• 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.
• Be sure to identify safety measures 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).
