[. . . ] The mains socket used for this device must be protected with a fuse or protective circuit breaker having slow tripping characteristics. Safety hints For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety instructions. CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may be bent, restricting full return. When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off. [. . . ] When cutting operation requires the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off. 1 & 3) Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and is driven back towards the operator. Don't remove saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily jump backwards over your hand, possibly causing severe injury. When operating the saw, keep the cord away from the cutting area and position it so that it will not be caught on the workpiece during the cutting operation. Operate with proper hand support, proper workpiece support, and supply cord routing away from the work area. WARNING: It is important to support the workpiece properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of control which could cause personal injury. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that part of the workpiece which is solidly supported, not on the section that will fall off when the cut is made. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held upside down in a vice. Before setting the tool down after completing a cut, be sure that the lower (telescoping) guard has closed and the blade has come to a complete stop. For straight cuts, align the right notch on the front of the base with your cutting line on the workpiece. To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita Authorized Service Centre. CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided. Set the base plate on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed. To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform. â· Retracting lever should be used only for bevel cutting and shallow cutting such as lower guard cannot move smoothly. As soon as blade enters the material, retracting lever must be released. The handy rip fence (guide rule) allows you to do extraaccurate straight cuts. [. . . ] As soon as blade enters the material, retracting lever must be released. The handy rip fence (guide rule) allows you to do extraaccurate straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with the clamp screw on the front of the base. Cleaner cutting operations can be performed by connecting this tool to a Makita vacuum cleaner. [. . . ]
