Accidental re-start preventive
function
When installing the battery cartridge while pulling the
switch trigger, the tool will not start.
To start the tool, release the switch trigger first. Press
and hold the lock-off button, and then pull the switch
trigger.

Electronic function

The tool is equipped with the electronic functions for
easy operation.
• Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric 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.
• Constant speed control
The speed control function provides the constant
rotation speed regardless of load conditions.
• Active Feedback sensing Technology
The tool electronically detects situations in which
the cutting wheel may be at risk to be bound.
In the situation, the tool automatically stops to
prevent further rotation of the spindle (it does not
prevent kickback).
In this case, release the switch trigger first,
remove the cause of sudden drop in the rotation
speed, and then pull the switch trigger to restart
the tool.

Always be sure that the tool is
