Switch action
WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge(s) into the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns
to the "OFF" position when released. Do not pull
the switch trigger hard without pressing in the
lock-off button. This can cause switch breakage.
Operating a tool with a switch that does not actuate
properly can lead to loss of control and serious per-
sonal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use tool without a fully
operative switch trigger. Any tool with an inoper-
ative switch is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be
repaired before further usage or serious personal
injury may occur.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off button 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 press-
ing the lock-off button. 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.

padlock
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
A hole is provided in the switch trigger for insertion of a
padlock to lock the tool off.
WARNING:
Do not use a lock with a shank or
cable any smaller than 6.35 mm (1/4") in diameter.
A smaller shank or cable may not properly lock the
tool in the off position and unintentional operation
may occur resulting in serious personal injury.
Casting a cutting line
CAUTION:
The lamp is not a rainproof. Do not
wash the lamp in water or use it in a rain or a wet
area. Such a conduct can cause an electric shock
and fume.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the lens of the lamp
as it is very hot while it is lighted or shortly after it
is turned off. This may cause burns.
CAUTION:
Do not apply impact to the lamp,
which may cause damage or shorted service time
to it.
CAUTION:
Do not look in the light or see the
source of light directly.
The LED lamp casts a light over the circular saw blade,
and a shadow of the blade falls onto a workpiece serv-
ing as a calibration-free cutting line indicator. Press the
lamp button to shed a light. A line appears in which the
blade will meet the surface of the workpiece, becoming
deepened as the blade gets lowered.

The indicator helps cut through an existing cut-off line
penciled on a workpiece.
1. Hold the handle and lower the circular saw blade
so a dense shadow of the blade is thrown against a
workpiece.
2. Align a cut-off line drawn on the workpiece with
the shadowed cutting line.
3.
Adjust the miter angles and bevel angles if
necessary.
NOTE: Be sure to turn off the lamp switch after use
because turning on the light consumes the battery
power.
NOTE: The light automatically goes off 5 minutes
after you cease operation.
