Switch action

WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.
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 pressing 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, depress the lock-off button
and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

cause switch breakage.
CAUTION:
The tool starts to brake the cir-
cular saw blade rotation immediately after you
release the switch trigger. Hold the tool firmly to
respond the reaction of the brake when releasing
the switch trigger. Sudden reaction can drop the tool
off your hand and can cause a personal injury.

Automatic speed change function
This tool has "high speed mode" and "high torque mode".
The tool automatically changes the operation mode
depending on the work load. When the work load is low,
the tool will run in the "high speed mode" for quicker
cutting operation. When the work load is high, the tool
will run in the "high torque mode" for powerful cutting
operation.
► Fig.11: 1. Mode indicator
The mode indicator lights up in green when the tool is
running in "high torque mode".
If the tool is operated with excessive load, the mode
indicator will blink in green. The mode indicator stops
blinking and then lights up or turns off if you reduce the
load on the tool.

Adjusting depth of cut

CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever and move the base up or down to align
the pointer with your desired depth on the depth guide.
At the desired depth of cut, secure the base by tighten-
ing the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
► Fig.12: 1. Pointer 2. Lever
You can read the cut depth with the scale on the lower
guard.
