ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR TOOL
1. Always use safety glasses, dust mask and ear
protector.
2. Use only Makita genuine carbide-tipped saw
blade 305 mm in diameter for metal cutting.
Never use abrasive cut-off wheel or other type
of saw blades.
3. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blade immediately.
4. Never secure the safety cover (safety guard).
Always be sure that the safety cover moves
smoothly before operation. Any irregular
operation of the safety cover should be
corrected immediately. Do not use the saw
without guards in position.
5. Be sure shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
6. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
7. Keep your hands and body away from rotating
blade.
8. Always secure the workpiece with the vise.
9. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
10. Watch out for flying sparks when operating.
They can cause injury or ignite combustible
materials.
11. Do not touch the blade, workpiece or cutting
chips immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
12. If the blade stops during operation, makes an
odd noise or begins to vibrate, switch off the
tool immediately. Then check the tool and
blade.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

When the tool is shipped from the factory, the handle is
locked in the lowered position. Release the handle from
the lowered position by lowering it slightly and removing
the chain from the hook on the handle.
Bolt the tool with two bolts to a level and stable surface
using the bolt holes provided in the tool base. This will
help prevent tipping and possible injury.
