When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install the
dust nozzle (optional accessory) on the tool using the
screw. Then connect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the
dust nozzle as shown in the figure.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
NOTE:
• When the battery cartridge temperature is low, the
tool may not work to its full capacity. At this time, for
example, use the tool for a light-duty cut for a while
until the battery cartridge warms up as high as
room temperature. Then, the tool can work to its full
capacity.

Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip (motor housing) and rear handle. Use both to best
grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot
be cut by the blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be
cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn the
tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. 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. If the cut fails to properly
follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or
force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the
blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible
serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and
then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start
cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes
operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw.
Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
Rip fence (Guide rule) (optional accessory)
011334
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with
the screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated
cuts of uniform width possible.
