Operation - Makita DSS610 Instruction Manual

Removing circular saw blade
1. Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle
and move the base down.
2. Press the shaft lock fully so that the mounting
shaft cannot revolve and use the wrench to loosen the
hex bolt. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange, circu-
lar saw blade and ring (country specific).
3. When storing the tool, install the outer flange and
lightly tighten the hex bolt by hand to prevent loss.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the upper and lower blade guards of accu-
mulated sawdust as discussed in the Maintenance
section. Such efforts do not replace the need to check
lower guard operation before each use.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way until
it locks in place. If you can see the red indicator on
the upper side of the button, it is not locked com-
pletely. Insert it fully until the red indicator cannot
be seen. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the
tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight
line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result
in overheating the motor and dangerous kick-
back, possibly causing severe injury.
• 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.

Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without
the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and
wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move
the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping
it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is com-
pleted.
