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.

Electric brake

This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly cease to function after
the switch trigger is released, have the tool serviced at
a Makita service center.
CAUTION:
substitute for the blade guard. Never use tool
without a functioning blade guard. An unguarded
blade may result in serious personal injury.
Constant speed control
The tool is provided with an electronic speed control
which helps maintain a constant blade rotation speed
even under load. A constant blade rotation speed will
result in a very smooth cut.
Soft start feature
This function allows the smooth start-up of the tool by
limiting the start-up torque.
