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.
NEVER use tool without a fully operative
•
switch trigger. Any tool with an inoperative switch
is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be repaired
before further usage or serious personal injury may
occur.
For your safety, this tool is equipped with a lock-off
•
button which prevents the tool from unintended
starting. NEVER use the tool if it runs when you
simply pull the switch trigger without pressing 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.
NEVER defeat the lock-off button by taping down or
•
some other means. A switch with a defeated
lock-off button may result in unintentional operation
and serious personal injury.

Electric brake

This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly stop the blade after the

Makita service center.
CAUTION:
The blade brake system is not a substitute for
•
the blade guard. Never use tool without a
functioning blade guard. An unguarded blade
may result in serious personal injury.
