Makita XCS06, Instruction Manual

9 ENGLISH

4.  Cutting with Tipped Saw Blades is noisy. Consider 

the work area environment.

Dress and protective equipment

5.  Wear protective equipment; safety glasses, safety 

shoes, dust mask and helmet. Even with the Dust 

Bag fitted, damaged blades or hot debris can fly 

out of the cover, resulting in personal injury.

6.  Dress properly. Do not wear a tie, loose clothing or 

knit gloves. Keep hair covered with a hair cover or 

a cap to be away from rotating blades.

Before use

7.  Ensure that Tipped Saw Blades are not deformed, 

chipped, cracked or worn-out. Do not use a Tipped 

Saw if any damage or wear is found. Cutting under 

such conditions may cause further damage to the 

blades and serious personal injury.

8.  Do not use the Tipped Saw for any application 

other than that stated in the tool specification. 

Using the Tipped Saw for other applications can 

cause excessive wear, detachment of blades, low 

cutting performance and abnormal generation of 

heat, resulting in damage to the blades and seri-

ous personal injury.

Tipped saw replacement

9.  When replacing the Tipped Saw, ensure that the 

battery is removed from the tool to prevent acci-

dental operation and personal injury.

10.  Ensure there is no one in the surroundings before 

operation and no abnormal sounds or abnormal 

vibrations occur when operating. Operating with 

abnormal sounds or abnormal vibrations can dam-

age the blades resulting in serious personal injury.

During operation

11.  Do not use the Tipped Saw for any purpose other 

than cutting. Do not subject the blades to damage 

or stress. It can break the blades resulting in seri-

ous personal injury.

12.  Hold the material firmly, in a vice or similar, so 

that it cannot move when cutting. If the material 

moves, the operation becomes unstable and 

cannot be controlled, resulting in damage to the 

blades and possible serious personal injury.

13.  Start cutting only after the Tipped Saw has 

reached maximum speed. If the Tipped Saw is set 

against the material before the motor is started, 

the blades will be overloaded and damaged, 

resulting in possible serious personal injury.

14.  Do not cut in zigzags, curves, diagonals, or use 

the side of the blade to prise or for any other 

purpose.

15.  If during cutting, there is an abnormal sound, 

abnormal vibration, or if the cutting parts are badly 

worn, stop operation.

Continuing the operation under such conditions 

will damage the Tipped Saw blades with the result 

that chips may be ejected causing serious per

-

sonal injury.

16.  Continuous operation makes the Tipped Saw 

blades hot and reduces the cutting performances.

Maintenance

17.  If there is deformation, a crack or damage on the 

Tipped Saw, stop the operation. Continuing the 

operation under such conditions will further dam-

age the Tipped Saw which may break up. Ejected 

broken parts can cause serious personal injury.

18.  Only keep and use Tipped Saws that are in good 

condition and the blades sharp and clean.

WARNING:

Always wear protective equip-

ment; safety glasses, safety shoes, dust mask 

and helmet.

WARNING:

Use only Makita supplied Tipped 

Saw. Using non Makita parts may damage the tool 

and can result in serious accident or injury.

Important safety instructions for 

battery cartridge

1. 

Before using battery cartridge, read all instruc-

tions and cautionary markings on (1) battery 

charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using 

battery.

2. 

Do not disassemble battery cartridge.

3. 

If operating time has become excessively 

shorter, stop operating immediately. It may 

result in a risk of overheating, possible burns 

and even an explosion.

4. 

If electrolyte gets into your eyes, rinse them 

out with clear water and seek medical atten-

tion right away. It may result in loss of your 

eyesight.

5. 

Do not short the battery cartridge:

(1) 

Do not touch the terminals with any con-

ductive material.

(2) 

Avoid storing battery cartridge in a con-

tainer with other metal objects such as 

nails, coins, etc.

(3) 

Do not expose battery cartridge to water 

or rain.

A battery short can cause a large current 

flow, overheating, possible burns and even a 

breakdown.

6. 

Do not store the tool and battery cartridge in 

locations where the temperature may reach or 

exceed 50 °C (122 °F).

7. 

Do not incinerate the battery cartridge even if 

it is severely damaged or is completely worn 

out. The battery cartridge can explode in a fire.
