Switch action
WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off lever
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off lever may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when you
simply pull the switch trigger without pressing the lock-
off lever. 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.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-
off lever is provided. To start the tool, depress the lock-off lever
and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard without
pressing in the lock-off lever. This can cause switch breakage.
CAUTION:
The tool starts to brake the cir-
cular saw blade rotation immediately after you
release the switch trigger. Hold the tool firmly to
respond the reaction of the brake when releasing
the switch trigger. Sudden reaction can drop the tool
off your hand and can cause a personal injury.
Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever and move the base up or down. At the
desired depth of cut, secure the base by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

To turn on the lamp with the tool running, press and hold
the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger.

the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.
Dust box
CAUTION:
Do not touch saw dust and the dust
box with bare hands immediately after the operation.
They may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
CAUTION:
Do not cut the material on which thin-
ner, gasoline, grease, or other chemicals are applied.
The saw dust of such materials can damage the dust box
and result in breakage which can cause personal injury.

Wear eye protection or goggle
when emptying the dust box.
Saw dust is collected into the dust box. Periodically
dump the saw dust in the dust box before it gets full.
Push the lever on the dust box to open the lid. Dump
the saw dust while the rear of the tool faces downward.
