a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.

Electric brake

This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly stop blade after switch
lever release, have tool serviced at a Makita service
center.
CAUTION:
The blade brake system is not a
substitute for blade guard. NEVER USE TOOL
WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING BLADE GUARD.
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.

Speed adjusting dial

The tool speed can be adjusted by turning the adjusting
dial. The speed of the blade rotation increases as you
increase the number on the speed adjusting dial.
► 1. Speed adjusting dial
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.

CAUTION:
The speed adjusting dial is not
for using low speed rated saw blades but for
obtaining a speed which is suitable to material of
workpiece. Use only saw blades which are rated
for at least the maximum no load speed stated in
the SPECIFICATIONS.
NOTICE:
The speed adjusting dial can be turned
only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past
5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no
longer work.
Electronic function
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
Overload protector
When the tool is overloaded and current flows above
a certain level, the tool automatically stops to protect
motor.
Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under load condition.
Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
