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 saw blade is not
contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch
is turned on. Turning the tool on with the saw blade
in contact with the workpiece may result in kickback
and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
After a cutting operation, do not
raise the saw blade until it has come to a com-
plete stop. The raising of a coasting saw blade may
result in serious personal injury and damage to the
workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not perform any adjustment
such as turning grip, knob, and levers on the tool
while the saw blade is rotating. Adjustment while
the saw blade is rotating may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not release the saw head
uncontrolled from the fully down position.
Uncontrolled saw head may hit you and it will result in
personal injury.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stop-
per pin and release the handle from the lowered
position.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi-
ciency. 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 saw blade may vibrate
and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece 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 is stopped during the cut, a
mark will be left in the workpiece and the precision of
the cut will be impaired.
