Intended use
The tool is intended for performing lengthways and
crossways straight cuts and mitre cuts with angles in
wood while in firm contact with the workpiece. With
appropriate Makita genuine saw blades, other materials
can also be sawed.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from
sockets without earth wire.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
CIRCULAR SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
Cutting procedures
1.
DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting area
and the blade. Keep your second hand on auxil-
iary handle, or motor housing. If both hands are
holding the saw, they cannot be cut by the blade.
2.
Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
workpiece.
3.
Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of the
workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade teeth
should be visible below the workpiece.

4.
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg. Secure the workpiece to a sta-
ble platform. It is important to support the work
properly to minimize body exposure, blade binding,
or loss of control.

piece support, and supply cord routing (if applica-
ble).
5.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces only, when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
6.
When ripping, always use a rip fence or straight
edge guide. This improves the accuracy of cut and
reduces the chance of blade binding.
7.
Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes. Blades
that do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
8.
Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were specially
designed for your saw, for optimum performance and
safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
–
kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or
misaligned saw blade, causing an uncontrolled saw
to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the opera-
tor;
–
when the blade is pinched or bound tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction drives the unit rapidly back toward the oper-
ator;
–
if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the
cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig
into the top surface of the wood causing the blade to
climb out of the kerf and jump back toward the oper-
ator.
