jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
Power tool use and care
18. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
19. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
20. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
21. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
22. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
23. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
24. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

WARNINGS
1. Hold power
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessories contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
2. Use only blades which are 1,140 mm (44-7/8")
long, 13 mm (1/2") wide, and 0.5 mm (.020")
thick.
3. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
4. Secure the workpiece firmly. When cutting a
bundle of workpieces, be sure that all
workpieces are secured together firmly before
cutting.
5. Cutting workpieces covered with oil can cause
the blade to come off unexpectedly. Wipe off
all excess oil from workpieces before cutting.
6. Never use the cutting oil as a cutting lubricant.
Use only Makita cutting wax.
7. Do not wear gloves during operation.
8. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. When cutting metal, be cautious of hot flying
chips.
11. Do not leave the tool running unattended.

immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
