3.  Disconnect the plug from the power source 

and/or the battery pack from the power tool 

before making any adjustments, changing 

accessories, or storing power tools.

 Such pre

-

ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting 

the power tool accidentally.

4.  Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 

etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-

ing into account the working conditions and 

the work to be performed.

 Use of the power tool 

for operations different from those intended could 

result in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care

1.  Recharge only with the charger specified by 

the manufacturer.

 A charger that is suitable for 

one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire 

when used with another battery pack.

2.  Use power tools only with specifically desig

-

nated battery packs.

 Use of any other battery 

packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

3.  When battery pack is not in use, keep it away 

from other metal objects, like paper clips, 

coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal 

objects, that can make a connection from one 

terminal to another.

 Shorting the battery termi

-

nals together may cause burns or a fire.

4.  Under abusive conditions, liquid may be 

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-

tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If 

liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical 

help.

 Liquid ejected from the battery may cause 

irritation or burns.

CAUTION

1.  Hold the tool securely while it is in use.

· 

If the tool is not held securely, you may be injured.

2.  Keep your hands and face away from the mov-

ing parts.

· 

They may cause an injury.

3.  Release the Switch immediately to stop opera-

tion when the tool is out of order or makes an 

abnormal sound during use.

Have it inspected and repaired by an autho-

rized service center.

· 

Failure to do so may result in damage or injury.

4.  If you drop or strike the tool, check carefully 

that the body is not damaged, cracked, or 

deformed.

· 

Any such damage could cause injury.

5.  Do not short the battery. A battery short can 

cause a large current flow, overheating, pos

-

sible burns and even a breakdown.

· 

Do not touch the terminals with any conductive 

materials.

· 

Avoid storing battery in a container with other 

metal objects such as nails, coins, etc.

· 

Do not expose battery to water or rain.

· 

Do not cut the cord.

6.

Do not operate the tool or charge the battery in 

explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence 

of lacquer, paint, benzin, thinner, gasoline, gasses 

or adhesive. This may cause an explosion or fire.

7.

Do not charge the battery on paper, cardboard, 

cloth, cushions, mats, carpets, vinyl or in the pres-

ence of dust. This may cause fire.

8.

Do not expose the Charger to water or metal items 

that can short out the charging terminals.

9.

Do not use charger for any other purpose than 

charging the battery.

10.

  Make sure tipped saw blades have no chips or 

cracks before using the tool.

11.

  Do not use water or cutting oil when cutting.

12.

  Use only Makita genuine tipped saw.

13.

  Do not leave the tool on the floor with switch 

locked on. The tool will run continuously and it 

may cause personal injury.

14.

  Do not operate the tool close to flammable and 

fragile items or personnel not necessary to the 

operation. During cutting hot debris and sparks will 

be ejected from the tool which may cause damage 

to the surroundings, fire or personal injury.

15.

  Do not cut concrete. It causes damage to the tool 

and may result in personal injury.

16.

  Check for the presence of people on the ground 

during operation in an elevated place. Any materi-

als or tools dropped may cause an accident.

17. 

If during charging, there is an abnormal generation 

of heat, stop charging immediately by disconnect-

ing the battery. Continuing charging may cause 

smoke, fire or explosion.

18.

  Do not allow anything to cover or clog the motor 

vents.

This may cause the motor to overheat.

19.

  When using an extension cord with the charger, 

it is recommended to use a cord with the cross 

section below and with a length as short as pos-

sible. For charging outdoors, use a cord rated for 

outdoor use.

WARNING FOR USING 

TIPPED SAW

Work area safety

1.  Ensure the Dust Bag is fixed correctly. Without the 

Dust Bag, when Tipped Saw Blades are damaged, 

pieces of the blades fly off and can cause serious 

personal injury.

2. 

Keep bystanders away from operations. Even with 

the Dust Bag fitted, damaged blades or hot debris 

can fly out of the bag, resulting in serious personal 

injury.

3.  Sparking may occur when cutting with Tipped Saw 

Blades. Do not use the tool where there is the risk 

of fire or explosion.
