Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
whichmayignitethedustorfumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
youtolosecontrol.
Electrical Safety
1.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiedplugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tricshockifyourbodyisearthedorgrounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit inter-
rupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
7.
Power tools can produce electromagnetic elds
(EMF) that are not harmful to the user. However,
users of pacemakers and other similar medical
devices should contact the maker of their device and/
or doctor for advice before operating this power tool.

warnings
Cutting procedures
1. DANGER: Keep hands away from cutting
area and the blade. Keep your second hand
on auxiliary handle, or motor housing. If both
handsareholdingthesaw,theycannotbecutby
the blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guardcannotprotectyoufromthebladebelowthe
workpiece.
3. Adjust the cutting depth to the thickness of
the workpiece. Less than a full tooth of the blade
teeth should be visible below the workpiece.
4. Never hold the workpiece in your hands or
across your leg while cutting. Secure the
workpiece to a stable platform. It is important to
supporttheworkproperlytominimisebodyexpo-
sure, blade binding, or loss of control.
5. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
6. When ripping, always use a rip fence or
straight edge guide.Thisimprovestheaccuracy
of cut and reduces the chance of blade binding.
7. Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbour holes.
Blades that do not match the mounting hardware
of the saw will run off-centre, causing loss of
control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
speciallydesignedforyoursaw,foroptimum
performanceandsafetyofoperation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
— kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
jammedormisalignedsawblade,causingan
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator;
— whenthebladeispinchedorjammedtightlybythe
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reactiondrivestheunitrapidlybacktowardthe
operator;
— if the blade becomes twisted or misaligned in the
cut, the teeth at the back edge of the blade can dig
into the top surface of the wood causing the blade
toclimboutofthekerfandjumpbacktowardthe
operator.
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
bytakingproperprecautionsasgivenbelow.
1. Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the
saw and position your arms to resist kickback
forces. Position your body to either side of the
blade, but not in line with the blade. Kickback
couldcausethesawtojumpbackwards,but
kickbackforcescanbecontrolledbytheoperator,
if proper precautions are taken.
2.
When blade is binding, or when interrupting a
cut for any reason, release the trigger and hold
the saw motionless in the material until the
blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the saw from the work or pull the
saw backward while the blade is in motion or
kickback may occur. Investigate and take correc-
tive actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
3. When restarting a saw in the workpiece, centre
the saw blade in the kerf so that the saw teeth
are not engaged into the material. If a saw blade
binds,itmaywalkuporkickbackfromthework-
piece as the saw is restarted.
4. Support large panels to minimise the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels tend
to sag under their own weight. Supports must be
placed under the panel on both sides, near the line
of cut and near the edge of the panel.
5ENGLISH
5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpenedorimproperlysetbladesproduce
narrow kerf causing excessive friction, blade
binding and kickback.
6. Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking levers
must be tight and secure before making the
cut.Ifbladeadjustmentshiftswhilecutting,itmay
cause binding and kickback.
7. Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
maycutobjectsthatcancausekickback.
8. ALWAYS hold the tool rmly with both hands.
NEVER place your hand, leg or any part of your
body under the tool base or behind the saw,
especially when making cross-cuts. If kickback
occurs,thesawcouldeasilyjumpbackwardsover
yourhand,leadingtoseriouspersonalinjury.
9. Never force the saw. Push the saw forward at a
speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.
Forcing the saw can cause uneven cuts, loss of
accuracy,andpossiblekickback.
Lower guard function
1. Check the lower guard for proper closing
before each use. Do not operate the saw if the
lower guard does not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the lower guard
into the open position.Ifthesawisaccidentally
dropped,thelowerguardmaybebent.Raisethe
lower guard with the retracting handle and make
sureitmovesfreelyanddoesnottouchtheblade
oranyotherpart,inallanglesanddepthsofcut.
2. Check the operation of the lower guard spring.
If the guard and the spring are not operating
properly, they must be serviced before use.
Lowerguardmayoperatesluggishlydueto
damagedparts,gummydeposits,orabuild-upof
debris.
3. The lower guard may be retracted manually
only for special cuts such as “plunge cuts”
and “compound cuts”. Raise the lower guard
by the retracting handle and as soon as the
blade enters the material, the lower guard
must be released. For all other sawing, the lower
guardshouldoperateautomatically.
4. Always observe that the lower guard is cover-
ing the blade before placing the saw down on
bench or oor. An unprotected, coasting blade
will cause the saw to walk backwards, cutting
whatever is in its path. Be aware of the time it
takes for the blade to stop after switch is released.
5. To check lower guard, open lower guard by
hand, then release and watch guard closure.
Also check to see that retracting handle does
not touch tool housing. Leaving blade exposed
is VERY DANGEROUS and can lead to serious
personalinjury.
Additional safety warnings
1. Intended use
This tool is intended to cut wood products by
lengthways and crossways straight cuts and
miter cuts with angles while in rm contact
with the workpiece.
With appropriate Makita genuine circular saw
blades, other materials can also be sawed.
Accumulated sawdust on the lower guard and hub
fromothermaterialsmayeffecttheproperclosure
of the lower guard which could lead to serious
personalinjury.
2. Use extra caution when cutting damp wood,
pressure treated lumber, or wood containing
knots. Maintain smooth advancement of tool with-
out decrease in blade speed to avoid overheating
the blade tips.
3. Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before
grasping cut material. Blades coast after turn off.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from lumber before cutting.
5. Place the wider portion of the saw base on
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off
when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short
or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND!
6. Before setting the tool down after completing a
cut, be sure that the guard has closed and the
blade has come to a complete stop.
6ENGLISH
7. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw
held upside down in a vise. This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
8.
Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
9. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the saw blade.
10. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
11. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that
is marked on the tool or specied in the man-
ual.Useofanincorrectlysizedblademayaffect
the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-
tionwhichcouldresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
12.
Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases poten-
tialforkickback.Keepbladecleanbyrstremoving
it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch
remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use gasoline.
13. Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when
use the tool.
14. Always use the saw blade intended for cutting
the material that you are going to cut.
15.
Only use the saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.

mientaeléctricadefuncionamientoabatería(inalámbrica).
Seguridad en el área de trabajo
1. Mantenga el área de trabajo limpia y bien ilu-
minada. Las áreas oscuras o desordenadas son
propensas a accidentes.
2. No utilice las herramientas eléctricas en
atmósferas explosivas, tal como en la presen-
cia de líquidos, gases o polvo inamables. Las
herramientas eléctricas crean chispas que pueden
prender fuego al polvo o los humos.
3. Mantenga a los niños y curiosos alejados
mientras utiliza una herramienta eléctrica. Las
distracciones le pueden hacer perder el control.
Seguridad eléctrica
1. Las clavijas de conexión de las herramientas
eléctricas deberán encajar perfectamente en la
toma de corriente. No modique nunca la cla-
vija de conexión de ninguna forma. No utilice
ninguna clavija adaptadora con herramientas
eléctricas que tengan conexión a tierra (puesta
a tierra). Lautilizacióndeclavijasnomodica-
dasyqueencajenperfectamenteenlatomade
corriente reducirá el riesgo de que se produzca
una descarga eléctrica.
2. Evite tocar con el cuerpo supercies conec-
tadas a tierra o puestas a tierra tales como
tubos, radiadores, cocinas y refrigeradores. Si
su cuerpo es puesto a tierra o conectado a tierra
existiráunmayorriesgodequesufraunades-
carga eléctrica.
3. No exponga las herramientas eléctricas a la
lluvia ni a condiciones húmedas. La entrada de
agua en una herramienta eléctrica aumentará el
riesgo de que se produzca una descarga eléctrica.
18 ESPAÑOL
4. No maltrate el cable. Nunca utilice el cable
para transportar, jalar o desconectar la herra-
mienta eléctrica. Mantenga el cable alejado del

les. Los cables dañados o enredados aumentan
el riesgo de sufrir una descarga eléctrica.
5. Cuando utilice una herramienta eléctrica en
exteriores, utilice un cable de extensión apro-
piado para uso en exteriores. La utilización de
un cable apropiado para uso en exteriores redu-
cirá el riesgo de que se produzca una descarga
eléctrica.
6. Si no es posible evitar usar una herramienta
eléctrica en condiciones húmedas, utilice un
alimentador protegido con interruptor de cir-
cuito de falla a tierra (ICFT). El uso de un ICFT
reduce el riesgo de descarga eléctrica.
7. Las herramientas eléctricas pueden producir
campos electromagnéticos (CEM) que no son
dañinos para el usuario. Sin embargo, si los
usuariostienenmarcapasosyotrosdispositivos

1.
Sujete la sierra rmemente con las dos manos y
coloque sus brazos de forma que ofrezcan resis-
tencia a la fuerza del retroceso brusco. Coloque
su cuerpo hacia cualquiera de los lados del disco,
pero no en línea con él. El retroceso brusco puede
provocar que la sierra salte hacia atrás; no obstante,
el operador puede controlar la fuerza del retroceso
brusco si toma las precauciones adecuadas.
2. Cuando note que el disco se atora, o cuando
quiera interrumpir un corte por cualquier
razón, suelte el gatillo y mantenga la sierra
inmóvil en el material hasta que el disco se
pare completamente. No intente nunca extraer
la sierra de la pieza de trabajo ni tirar de la sie-
rra hacia atrás mientras el disco esté movién-
dose porque podrá ocasionar un retroceso
brusco.Investigueytomemedidascorrectivas
para eliminar la causa del atoramiento del disco.
