Switch action

WARNING:
Before installing the battery cartridge 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.

The tool starts to brake the circular 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.10: 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.
Mode indicator status

Adjusting depth of cut

CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base up or down.
At the desired depth of cut, secure the base by tightening 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.

After adjusting the bevel angle,
always tighten the clamping screws securely.
Loosen the clamping screws. Set for the desired angle by
tilting accordingly, then tighten the clamping screws securely.

Use the stopper when you do precise 45° angle cutting.
Fully turn the stopper as illustrated depending on 0° -
45° bevel cut or 0° - 48° bevel cut.
