Move the slide lever on the tool base in the direction of arrow 

so that it engages the undercut groove in the guide rail.

Safety warnings specific for use at height

Read all safety warnings and instructions.

 Failure to follow 

the warnings and instructions may result in serious injury.

1. 

Always keep the tool tethered when working "at 

height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m (6.5 ft).

2. 

Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool 

type and rated for at least 6.0 kg (13.3 lbs).

3. 

Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on 

your body or on movable components. Anchor 

the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can 

withstand the forces of a dropped tool.

4. 

Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at 

each end prior to use.

5. 

Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use for damage 

and proper function (including fabric and stitching). Do 

not use if damaged or not functioning properly.

6. 

Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to 

come in contact with sharp or rough edges.

7. 

Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside the 

working area so that a falling tool is held securely.

8. 

Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move 

away from the operator if it falls.

 Dropped tools 

will swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury 

or loss of balance.

9. 

Do not use near moving parts or running 

machinery.

 Failure to do so may result in a crush 

or entanglement hazard.

10. 

Do not carry the tool by the attachment device 

or the lanyard.

11. 

Only transfer the tool between your hands 

while you are properly balanced.

12. 

Do not attach lanyards to the tool in a way that keeps 

guards, switches or lock-offs from operating properly.

13. 

Avoid getting tangled in the lanyard.

14. 

Keep lanyard away from the cutting area of the tool.

15. 

Use multi-action and screw gate type carabineers. 

Do not use single action spring clip carabineers.

16. 

In the event the tool is dropped, it must be 

tagged and removed from service, and should 

be inspected by a Makita Factory or Authorized 

Service Center.
