37. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,

let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or

wobbling that could indicate poor installation

or a poorly balanced blade.

38. Wait until the blade attains full speed before

cutting.

39. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-

thing abnormal.

40. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on

position.

41. Be alert at all times, especially during repeti-

tive, monotonous operations. Do not be lulled

into a false sense of security. Blades are

extremely unforgiving.

42. Always use accessories recommended in this

manual. Use of improper accessories such as

abrasive wheels may cause an injury.

43. Take care when slotting.

44. Some dust created from operation contains

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based-painted material

and, arsenic and chromium from chemi-

cally-treated lumber.

• Your risk from these exposures varies,

depending on how often you do this

type of work. To reduce your exposure

to these chemicals: work in a well venti-

lated area and work with approved safety

equipment, such as those dust masks

that are specially designed to lter out

microscopic particles.

45. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure

that the blade is sharp and clean.

46. The operator is adequately trained in the use,

adjustment and operation of the machine.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

FUNCTIONAL

DESCRIPTION

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is

switched off and unplugged before adjusting or

checking function on the tool.

Blade guard

►Fig.6: 1. Blade guard

When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-

matically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to

its original position when the cut is completed and the

handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE

BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES

TO THE GUARD.

In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain

the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-

tion of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.

Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.

NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARD OR

SPRING IS DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED.

DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN

CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or saw-

dust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or

workpiece is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw

and clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not

use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the

plastic guard.

If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through

the guard is impaired, use the supplied wrench to

loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover. Loosen

the hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise and raise

the blade guard and center cover. With the blade guard

so positioned, cleaning can be more completely and

efcientlyaccomplished.Whencleaningiscomplete,

reverse procedure above and secure bolt. Do not

remove spring holding blade guard. If guard becomes

discolored through age or UV light exposure, contact

a Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT

DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
