DOUBLE INSULATION
Groove cutter blade
Circular saw blade
Only for EU countries
Do not dispose of electric equipment
together with household waste material! In
observance of the European Directive, on
and its implementation in accordance with
national law, electric equipment that have
reached the end of their life must be col-
lected separately and returned to an envi-
ronmentally compatible recycling facility.
Intended use
The tool is specially intended for cutting groove into
composite boards made from aluminum, plastic, mineral
contained plastic, and similar materials.
If the tool is equipped with proper circular saw blade,
the tool can be used for sawing wood and aluminum.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and
can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They
are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used
from sockets without earth wire.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined accord-
ing to EN62841:
Sound pressure level (LpA) : 88 dB(A)
Sound power level (L) : 99 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)
WARNING: Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-
mined according to EN62841:
cutting
Vibration emission (ah) : 2.5 m/s2or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
Vibration emission (a) : 2.5 m/s2or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
Vibration emission (ah,M) : 2.5 m/s2or less
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has
been measured in accordance with the standard test
method and may be used for comparing one tool with
another.
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value
may also be used in a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual
use of the power tool can differ from the declared
emission value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used.
WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures
to protect the operator that are based on an estima-
tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it is
running idle in addition to the trigger time).

Kickback causes and related warnings
— kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator;
—
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor reac-
tion drives the unit rapidly back toward the 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 to climb out
Kickback is the result of saw misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided
by taking proper precautions as given below.
1.
saw and position your arms to resist kickback
Kickback
kickback forces can be controlled by the operator,
if proper precautions are taken.
2.
in motion or kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of blade binding.
3.
If a saw blade binds, it may
walk up or kickback from the workpiece as the saw is
restarted.
5ENGLISH
4.
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.
5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.

Guard function

If the saw is accidentally
dropped, the guard may be bent. Check to make
sure that guard moves freely and does not touch
the blade or any other part, in all angles and
depths of cut.

gishly due to damaged parts, gummy deposits, or
a build-up of debris.
3.
blade bevel setting is not at 90 °. Blade shifting
sideways will cause binding and likely kick back.
4.
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.
Additional safety warnings
1.

knots. Maintain smooth advancement of tool with-
out decrease in blade speed to avoid overheating

ing the plastic.
2.

it is turned in the direction of number 1.
Refer to the table to select the proper speed for the
workpiece to be cut. However, the appropriate speed
may differ with the type or thickness of the workpiece. In
general, higher speeds will allow you to cut workpieces
faster but the service life of the blade will be reduced.

Rip fence (guide rule)
10 ENGLISH
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the screws on the front and the back of
the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width
possible.
Overturning the rip fence (guide rule) also works as a
sub base for the tool.

Stopper 2. Red mark
This tool has the stopper for 2 to 3 mm depth of cut
on the gear housing aside the rear handle when using
guide rail.
Splinter on the workpiece can be avoided by making a
pass of usual cut.
First, push in the stopper toward the circular saw blade
for obtaining 2 to 3 mm depth of cut.
Then pull the button back for performing free depth of
cut.
Make sure that the stopper is released and the red mark
can be seen for groove cutting operation.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
For groove cutting operation, connect a Makita vacuum
cleaner to your tool.
Connect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust port.
