KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don't use power tools
in damp
or wet locations. Keep work area well
lit. Don't expose power tools to rain.
Don't use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
Don't let visitors contact tool or extension cord.
STORE IDLETOOLS. When not
in use, tools should bestored indry, and high
or locked-up place
- out of reach of children.
DON'T FORCE TOOL.
It will do the job better and safer at the ratefor which
it was intended.
USE RIGHT TOOL. Don't force small tool or attachment to do the job of a
heavy-duty tool. Don't use tool for purpose not intended.
DRESS PROPERLY. Don't wear loose clothing
or jewelry. They can be caught
in moving parts. Rubber gloves and nonskid footwear are recommended
when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask
if cutting operation is
dusty.
DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank
it todisconnect from
receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It's safer than using
your hand and
it frees both hands to operate tool.
DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing acces-
sories. Inspect tool cords periodicallyand
if damaged, have repairedby autho-
rized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if
damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
DISCONNECTTOOLS. When not
in use, before servicing, and when chang-
ing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters.

14. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to
see that keysand adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning
it on.
15. AVOID UNINTENTIONALSTARTING. Don‘t carry plugged-intool withfinger
on switch. Be sure switch is
OFF when plugging in.
16. OUTDOOR USE EXTENSIONCORDS. When tool isusedoutdoors, use only
extension cords intended for use outdoors and
so marked.
17. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing, usecommon sense. Don’t operate
tool when you are tired.
18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that
it will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment
of
moving parts, bindingof moving parts, breakageof parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard
or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized serv-
ice center unless otherwise indicated elsewhere inthis instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Don’t use
tool if switch does not turn
it on and off.
19. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded
surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, useonly identicalreplacementparts.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified
for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user
- as well as damage to
the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

I. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual
contains important safety and operating instructions for battery charger.
2. Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings
on
(1) battery charger, (2) battery, and (3) product using battery.
3. CAUTION - To reduce risk of injury, charge only MAKITA type recharge-
able batteries. Other types
of batteries may burst causing personal injury
and damage.
4. Do not expose charger to rain or snow.
5. Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by the battery charger
manufacturer may result
in a risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
6. To reduce risk of damage toelectric plug and cord, pull by plug rather than
cord when disconnecting charger.
7. Make sure cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or
otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
8. An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Use of
improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If
extension cord must be used, make sure:
a. That pins on plug
of extension cord are the same number, size, and shape
b. That extension cord is properly wired and ingood electrical condition; and
c. That wire size is at least as large as the one specified inthe table below.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
FOR CHARGER
& BATTERY CARTRIDGE
1. Do not charge Battery Cartridge when temperature is BELOW 10°C (50°F)
2. Do not attempt to use a step-up transformer, an engine generator or DC
3. Do not allow anything to cover or clog the charger vents.
4. Do not short the battery cartridge. A battery short can cause a large current
flow, overheating, possible burns and even a breakdown.
5. Do not store the tool and Battery Cartridge
in locations where the tempera-
ture may reach or exceed 50°C (122°F).
6. 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. Keep Guards In Place and In Working Order.
Never wedge or tie lower guard open. Check operation of lower guard be-
fore each use. Don't use if lowerguard does not close briskly over saw blade.
CAUTION:
If saw isdropped, lower guard may bebent, restrictingfull return.
2. Keep Blades Clean and Sharp.
Sharp blades minimize stalling and kickback.
3. DANGER: Keep Hands Away From Cutting Area.
Keep hands away from blades. Don't reach underneath work while blade
is rotating. Don't attempt to remove cut material when blade is moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
Large panels must be supported as shown in Fig.
1 to minimize the risk of
blade pinching and kickback.
When cutting operation requiresthe resting of the saw on the work piece,
the saw shall be rested on the larger portion and the smaller piece cut off.
4. Support Large Panels.
To avoid kickback, do support board
1 or panel near the cut. Don't support board or panel away I. from the cut.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2

5. Use Rip Fence.
6. Guard Against Kickback.
Always use a fence or straight edge guide when ripping.
Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly and isdriven back towards the
operator. Release switchimmediately if bladebindsor saw stalls. Keep blades
sharp. Support large panels as shown in Fig.
1. Use fence or straight edge
guide when ripping. Don‘t force tool. Stay alert exercise control. Don’t re-
move saw from work during a cut while the blade is moving.
7. Lower Guard. Raise lower guard with the retracting handle.
8. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure depth and beveladjustments are tight.
9. Use Only Correct Blades In Mounting. Don’t use blades with incorrect size
IO. Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
holes. Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts.

cutting.
Whenoperating the saw, keep the
cord away from the cutting area
and position
it so that it will notbe
caught on the workpiece during
the cutting operation.
Operatewith proper handsupport,
proper workpiece support, and
supply cord routing away from the
work area.

support, workpiece support, and
supply cord routing.

WARN IN G :
It isimportant tosupport the workpiece properly and to hold the saw firmly
toprevent
loss of controlwhichcouldcause personalinjury. Fig. 3 illustrates
typical hand support

12. Placethe wider portion of the saw base onthat part of the workpiece which
is solidly supported, not onthe sectionthat will fall off when the cut is made.
As examples, Fig. 4 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off the end of a board,
and Fig.
5 the WRONG way. Ifthe workpiece isshort or small, clamp it down.
Don’t try to hold short pieces by hand!
