Optional Accessories; Maintenance - Makita CS002GZ01 Instruction Manual

CAUTION:
Do not stack materials when cutting them.
CAUTION:
Do not cut hardened steel, wood,
plastics, concrete, tile, etc. Cut only mild steel and
stainless steel with a suitable circular saw blade.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the circular saw blade, work-
piece or cutting chips with bare hands immediately after
cutting. They may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
CAUTION:
If the tool is operated continuously until
the battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest
for 15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
NOTE: When making a miter cuts etc., sometimes
the lower guard does not move easily. At that time,
use the retracting lever to raise the lower guard for
starting cut and as soon as blade enters the material,
release the retracting lever.

CAUTION:
Make sure that the rip fence is
securely installed in the correct position before
use. Improper attachment may cause dangerous
kickback.
► Fig.22: 1. Rip fence (Guide rule) 2. Clamping screw
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in posi-
tion with the clamping screw on the front of the base. It
also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
CAUTION:
Clean out the upper and lower
guards to ensure there is no accumulated metal
chips which may impede the operation of the
lower guarding system. A dirty guarding system
may limit the proper operation which could result in
serious personal injury. When using compressed
air to blow metal chips out of the guards, wear a
proper eye and breathing protection.
CAUTION:
After each use, clean up the inside
of the dust case and wipe off the metal chips on
the tool. Fine metal chips may come inside the tool
and cause malfunction or a fire.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
Inspecting the circular saw blade
Check the circular saw blade carefully for
•
cracks or damage before and after each use.
Replace a cracked or damaged circular saw
blade immediately.
Replace with a new circular saw blade as soon
•
as it no longer cuts effectively. Continuing to
use a dull circular saw blade may cause a danger-
ous kickback and/or motor overload.
• Circular saw blades for metal cutter cannot be
re-sharpened.
