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 press-
ing 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.

NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard with-
out 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.
