Switch action

WARNING:
Before plugging in the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actu-
ates properly and returns to the "OFF" position
when released. Do not pull the switch trigger hard
without pressing in the lock-off button. This can
cause switch breakage. Operating a tool with a
switch that does not actuate properly can lead to loss
of control and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use tool without a fully
operative switch trigger. Any tool with an inoper-
ative switch is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be
repaired before further usage or serious personal
injury may occur.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when
you simply pull the switch trigger without press-
ing 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.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
A hole is provided in the switch trigger for insertion of a
padlock to lock the tool off.

WARNING:
Do not use a lock with a shank
or cable any smaller than 6.35 mm 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.
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 shortened 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 saw blade falls onto a workpiece
serving as a calibration-free cutting line indicator. Press
the lamp switch to shed a light. A line appears in which
the saw blade will meet the surface of the workpiece,
becoming deepened as the saw 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 saw 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.
Otherwise the lamp stays hot.
