NOTICE:
• Applying excessive pressure to the tool or twisting of
the blade may cause bevel cutting or damage to the
blade.
• When not using the tool for a long period of time,
remove the blade from the tool.
• If the tool is operated continuously until the battery
cartridge has discharged, allow the tool to rest for
15 minutes before proceeding with a fresh battery.
Cutting lubricant
CAUTION:
• Never use cutting oil or apply excessive amount of wax
to the blade. It may cause the blade to slip or come off
unexpectedly.
• When cutting cast iron, do not use any cutting wax.
(Fig. 14)
When cutting metals, use Makita cutting wax as a cutting
lubricant. To apply the cutting wax to the blade teeth,
remove a cap of the cutting wax, start the tool and cut into
the cutting wax as shown in the figure.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
Cleaning
CAUTION:
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
• Wax and chips on the tires may cause the blade to slip
and come off unexpectedly. Use a dry cloth to remove
wax and chips from the tires.
After use, remove wax, chips and dust from the tool,
wheel tires and blade.
Replacing tires on wheels
Replace the tires when the blade slips or does not track
properly because of badly worn tires.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

NOTE:
• Some items in the list may be included in the tool
package as standard accessories. They may differ from
country to country.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN60745:
Sound pressure level (L
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 dB (A)
The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN60745:
Work mode: cutting metal
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s
• The declared vibration emission value has been
measured in accordance with the standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in
the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts
of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
