SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Cordless Metal Cutter safety
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
hands are holding the saw, they cannot be cut by
the blade.
2. Do not reach underneath the workpiece. The
guard cannot protect you from the blade below the
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
support the work properly to minimise body expo-
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. This improves the accuracy
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 o󰀨-centre, causing loss of
control.
8. Never use damaged or incorrect blade wash-
ers or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
Kickback causes and related warnings
— kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,
jammed or misaligned saw blade, causing an
uncontrolled saw to lift up and out of the workpiece
toward the operator;
— when the blade is pinched or jammed tightly by the
kerf closing down, the blade stalls and the motor
reaction 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 workpiece causing
the blade to climb out of the kerf and jump back
toward the operator.
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. 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
could cause the saw to jump backwards, but
kickback forces can be controlled by the operator,
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
corrective 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, it may walk up or kickback from the work-
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.
5. Do not use dull or damaged blades.
Unsharpened or improperly set blades produce
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. If blade adjustment shifts while cutting, it may
cause binding and kickback.
7. Use extra caution when sawing into existing
walls or other blind areas. The protruding blade
may cut objects that can cause kickback.
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, the saw could easily jump backwards over
your hand, leading to serious personal injury.
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, and possible kickback.

8ENGLISH
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. If the saw is accidentally
dropped, the lower guard may be bent. Raise the
lower guard with the retracting handle and make
sure it moves freely and does not touch the blade
or any other part, in all angles and depths of cut.
2.
Check the operation of the lower guard spring. If
the guard and the spring are not operating prop-
erly, they must be serviced before use. Lower
guard may operate sluggishly due to damaged
parts, gummy deposits, or a build-up of 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
guard should operate automatically.
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
personal injury.
Additional safety warnings
1. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the saw blade.
2. Do not attempt to remove cut material when
blade is moving. Wait until blade stops before
grasping cut material. Blades coast after turn o󰀨.
3. 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 o󰀨
when the cut is made. If the workpiece is short
or small, clamp it down. DO NOT TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND!
4. Never attempt to make a cut with the tool held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely dan-
gerous and can lead to serious accidents.
5. Wear safety goggles and hearing protection
during operation.
6. Do not use any abrasive wheels.
7. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that
is marked on the tool or specied in the man-
ual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may a󰀨ect
the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-
tion which could result in serious personal injury.
8. Always use the saw blade intended for cutting
the material that you are going to cut.
9.
Only use the saw blades that are marked with a speed
equal or higher than the speed marked on the tool.
10. 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.
11.
Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and
skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
12. Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when
use the tool.
13. (For European countries only)
Always use the blade which conforms to
EN847-1, when cutting wood or like.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity
with product (gained from repeated use) replace
strict adherence to safety rules for the subject
product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety
rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.

OPERATION
This tool is intended to cut mild steel. With appropriate Makita
genuine saw blades, following materials can also be sawed:
• Fiber-cement board
• Wood
Refer to our website or contact your local Makita dealer for the
correct circular saw blades to be used for the material to be cut.
CAUTION: Always wear eye protection or
goggle before operation.
CAUTION: Be sure to move the tool forward
in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool
will result in overheating the motor and dangerous
kickback, possibly causing severe injury.
CAUTION: Never twist or force the tool in the
cut. This may cause motor overload and/or a danger-
ous kickback, resulting in serious injury to the operator.
CAUTION: Always use the circular saw blades
appropriate for your job. The use of inappropriate
circular saw blades may cause a poor cutting perfor-
mance and/or present a risk of personal injury.
CAUTION: Do not use a deformed or cracked
circular saw blade. Replace it with a new one.
► Fig.21
Hold the tool rmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding the tool, they cannot be cut by
the circular saw blade. Set the base on the workpiece
to be cut without the circular saw blade making any
contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the circular
saw blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool
forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it at and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your cutting line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow
your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the
tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the circular saw
blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious
injury. Release switch, wait for the circular saw blade to
stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line,
and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which
exposes operator to chips and particles being ejected from
the tool. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.

13 ENGLISH
The sight grooves in the base makes it easy to check
the distance between the front edge of the circular saw
blade and the workpiece whenever the circular saw
blade is set to the maximum depth of cut.
► Fig.22: 1. Cutting line 2. Base 3. Sight grooves
CAUTION: Do not stack materials when cut-
ting them.
CAUTION: Do not cut hardened steel, wood,
plastics, concrete, tile, etc. Cut only mild steel,
aluminum and stainless steel with a suitable
circular saw blade.
CAUTION: Do not touch the circular saw
blade, workpiece or cutting chips with bare hands
immediately after cutting. They may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
CAUTION: If the tool is operated continuously
until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow
the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding
with a fresh battery.
Rip fence (Guide rule)
Optional accessory
CAUTION: Make sure that the rip fence is
securely installed in the correct position before
use. Improper attachment may cause dangerous
kickback.
► Fig.23: 1. Rip fence (Guide rule) 2. Clamping screw
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 posi-
tion with the clamping screw on the front of the base. It
also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

električno orodje
OPOZORILO: Preberite vsa varnostna opozo-
rila in navodila s slikami in tehničnimi podatki, ki so
dobavljeni skupaj z električnim orodjem. Ob neupo-
števanju spodaj navedenih navodil obstaja nevarnost

Varnostna opozorila za uporabo
brezžične krožne žage
Postopki rezanja
1. NEVARNOST: Ne približujte rok območju
rezanja in rezilu. Drugo roko imejte na pomož-
nem ročaju ali ohišju motorja. Če držite žago z
obema rokama, ju rezilo ne more poškodovati.
2. Ne segajte pod obdelovanca. Ščitnik vas pod
obdelovancem ne more varovati pred rezilom.
3. Prilagodite globino rezanja debelini obdelo-
vanca. Pod obdelovancem ne sme biti vidna več
kot ena dolžina zobca.
4.
Med rezanjem nikoli ne držite obdelovanca v
rokah ali prek nog. Pritrdite obdelovanec na
stabilno podlago. Pomembno je, da je obdelovanec
ustrezno podprt, da zmanjšate izpostavljenost telesa
ter možnost zagozditve rezila ali izgube nadzora.
5. Če obstaja nevarnost, da bi z rezalnim orodjem
prerezali skrito električno napeljavo, držite ele-
ktrično orodje za izolirane držalne površine. Ob
stiku z vodniki pod napetostjo dobijo napetost vsi
neizolirani kovinski deli električnega orodja, zaradi
česar lahko upravljavec utrpi električni udar.
6. Med vzporednim rezanjem vedno uporabite
vzporedni prislon ali vodilo z ravnim robom. S
tem boste izboljšali natančnost reza in zmanjšali
možnost zagozditve rezila.
7. Vedno uporabljajte rezila prave velikosti in
oblike osnih lukenj (diamantna ali krožna).
Rezila, ki jih ni mogoče ustrezno namestiti na
orodje, bodo delovala ekscentrično, kar bo
povzročilo izgubo nadzora.
8.
Nikoli ne uporabljajte poškodovanih ali nepravil-
nih tesnil ali vijakov rezila. Tesnila in vijaki rezila
so bila posebej narejena za vašo žago, da zagoto-
vijo optimalno učinkovitost in varnost pri delu.
Vzroki za povratni udarec in s tem povezana opozorila
— povratni udarec je nenadna reakcija pri stisnje-
nem, zagozdenem ali neporavnanem žaginem
listu, ki povzroči nenadzorovan dvig žage iz obde-
lovanca proti upravljavcu;
— če je rezilo stisnjeno ali trdno zagozdeno v zapi-
rajoči se špranji, se ustavi in reakcija motorja hitro
vrže enoto nazaj proti upravljavcu;
— če se rezilo med rezom zvije ali je napačno
poravnano, se lahko zobci na zadnjem robu rezila
zataknejo v zgornjo površino obdelovanca, kar
povzroči, da se rezilo dvigne iz zareze in udari
proti upravljavcu.
Povratni udarec je posledica nestrokovnega ravnanja
z žago in/ali neugodnih okoliščin. Preprečite ga lahko z
upoštevanjem spodaj navedenih opozoril.
1. Trdno držite žago z obema rokama in name-
stite roki, da se uprete silam povratnega
udarca. Namestite telo na katero koli stran
rezila in ne poravnano z rezilom. Povratni uda-
rec lahko povzroči skok žage nazaj, vendar lahko
sile povratnega udarca upravljavec nadzoruje, če
izvede pravilne varnostne ukrepe.
2.
Ko se rezilo zatakne ali če iz katerega koli raz-
loga prekinete z rezanjem, spustite sprožilnik
in negibno držite žago v materialu, dokler se
rezilo popolnoma ne ustavi. Nikoli ne skušajte
odstraniti žage iz obdelovanca in je ne posku-
šajte povleči nazaj, dokler se žaga premika. V
nasprotnem primeru lahko pride do povratnega
udarca. Preverite in odpravite vzrok oviranja rezila.
3. Kadar ponovno zaganjate žago v obdelovancu,
poravnajte žagin list v špranji, tako da žagini
zobci niso zagozdeni v materialu. Če se žagin
list zagozdi, se lahko premakne ali udari iz obdelo-
vanca, ko znova zaženete žago.
4.
Pod velike plošče postavite podporo, da zmanj-
šate možnost zagozdenja rezila ali povratnega
udarca. Velike plošče se lahko zaradi lastne teže
povesijo. Podpore je treba postaviti pod ploščo na
obeh straneh v bližini linije reza in blizu roba plošče.
5. Ne uporabljajte topih ali poškodovanih rezil.
Nenabrušena ali nepravilno nastavljena rezila
naredijo ozko špranjo, kar povzroči čezmerno
trenje, zagozdenje rezila in povratni udarec.
6. Ročici za nastavljanje globine reza in prila-
goditev poševnosti morata biti trdno in varno
pritrjeni pred začetkom rezanja. Če se prilago-
jeni položaj rezila med rezanjem spremeni, lahko
povzroči oviranje in povratni udarec.
7. Bodite še posebej previdni, kadar režete v
obstoječe stene ali druga slepa območja.
Rezilo lahko prereže predmete, ki lahko povzročijo
povratni udarec.
8.
VEDNO trdno držite orodje z obema rokama.
NIKOLI ne polagajte rok, nog ali katerega koli
drugega dela telesa pod osnovno ploščo orodja
ali za žago, zlasti kadar izvajate prečne reze. V
primeru povratnega udarca lahko žaga odskoči nazaj
preko vaše roke in povzroči hude telesne poškodbe.
9. Nikoli ne pritiskajte žage. Potisnite žago naprej
s hitrostjo, pri kateri rezilo reže brez upočas-
njevanja. Pritiskanje na žago lahko povzroči
neravne reze, nenatančnost in morebiten povratni
udarec.

Funkcija ščitnika
1.
Pred vsako uporabo preverite, če se spodnji ščit-
nik pravilno zapira. Ne uporabljajte žage, če se
spodnji ščitnik ne premika prosto in se ne zapira.
Nikoli ne pritrjujte ali privezujte spodnjega ščit-
nika v odprtem položaju. Če vam žaga po nesreči
pade, se lahko spodnji ščitnik zvije. Dvignite spodnji
ščitnik z zategovalno ročico in se prepričajte, da se
prosto premika in se ne dotika rezila ali katerega koli
dela pri vseh kotih in globinah reza.
2. Preverite delovanje vzmeti spodnjega ščitnika.
Če ščitnik in vzmet ne delujeta pravilno, ju je
treba pred uporabo servisirati. Spodnji ščitnik
lahko deluje počasi zaradi poškodovanih delov,
ostankov gume ali nabranih ostružkov.
3. Spodnji ščitnik lahko ročno odmaknete samo
pri posebnih rezih, kot so „ugreznjeni rezi“
in „sestavljeni rezi“. Dvignite spodnji ščitnik,
tako da povlečete ročico, ko pa rezilo vstopi
v material, je treba spodnji ščitnik spustiti. Pri
vseh drugih načinih žaganja mora spodnji ščitnik
delovati samodejno.
4. Preden odložite žago na mizo ali tla, vedno
pazite, da spodnji ščitnik pokriva rezilo.
Nezaščiteno rezilo v prostem teku bo povzročilo
premik žage nazaj, ki bo rezala vse, kar ji bo
napoti. Upoštevajte čas, ki je potreben za zausta-
vitev rezila, ko izpustite stikalo.
5. Delovanje spodnjega ščitnika preverite tako,
da ga ročno odprete, izpustite in opazujete
zapiranje. Prav tako se prepričajte, da se
zategovalna ročica ne dotika ohišja orodja.
Odlaganje orodja z nezaščitenim rezilom je
ZELO NEVARNO in lahko povzroči hude telesne
poškodbe.
Dodatna varnostna opozorila
1. Ne zaustavljajte rezila z bočnim pritiskom na
žagin list.
2. Ne poskušajte odstraniti odrezanega mate-
riala, medtem ko se rezilo premika. Preden
primete rezan material, počakajte, da se rezilo
ustavi. Rezilo je po izklopu v prostem teku.
3. Širši del podstavka žage postavite na tisti
del obdelovanca, ki je trdno podprt, in ne
na del, ki bo po končanem rezu odpadel. Če
je obdelovanec kratek ali majhen, ga pritr-
dite. NE POSKUŠAJTE DRŽATI KRATKEGA
OBDELOVANCA V ROKI!
4. Nikoli ne poskušajte izvesti reza z orodjem,
tako da ga vpnete v primež obrnjenega na
glavo. To je izjemno nevarno in lahko povzroči
hudo nesrečo.
5.
Med uporabo nosite zaščitna očala in zaščito za sluh.
6. Ne uporabljajte abrazivnih plošč.
7.
Uporabljajte le rezila žage s premerom, ki je
označen na orodju ali naveden v priročniku.
Uporaba rezila nepravilne velikosti lahko vpliva na
ustrezno zaščito rezila ali delovanje ščitnika, zaradi
česar lahko pride do hudih telesnih poškodb.
8. Vedno uporabljajte žagin list, ki je namenjen
rezanju izbranega materiala.
9. Uporabljajte le žagine liste, ki so označeni s
hitrostjo, ki je enaka ali višja od hitrosti, ozna-
čene na orodju.
10. Pred odložitvijo orodja po končanem rezu se
prepričajte, da se je ščitnik zaprl in se je rezilo
popolnoma ustavilo.
11. Nekateri materiali vsebujejo kemikalije, ki so
lahko strupene. Bodite previdni ter preprečite
vdihavanje prahu in stik s kožo. Upoštevajte
varnostne podatke dobavitelja materiala.
12. Med uporabo orodja nosite protiprašno masko
in zaščito za sluh.
13. (Samo za evropske države)
Pri rezanju lesa ali podobnega materiala vedno
uporabljajte rezilo, ki je skladno s standardom
EN847-1.

Nasveti za ohranjanje največje
zmogljivosti akumulatorja
1. Napolnite baterijski vložek, preden se v celoti
izprazni. Ko opazite, da ima orodje manjšo
moč, vedno ustavite delovanje orodja in napol-
nite baterijski vložek.
2. Nikoli znova ne polnite popolnoma napol-
njenega baterijskega vložka. Prenapolnjenje
skrajša življenjsko dobo akumulatorja.
3. Baterijski vložek s sobno temperaturo pol-
nite pri temperaturi okolja od 10 °C do 40 °C.
Počakajte, da se vroč baterijski vložek pred
polnjenjem ohladi.
4. Ko akumulatorske baterije ne uporabljate, jo
odstranite iz orodja ali polnilnika.
5. Če baterijskega vložka ne uporabljate dalj časa
(več kot 6 mesecev), ga napolnite.
OPIS DELOVANJA
POZOR: Pred nastavljanjem ali preizkusom
delovanja orodja se prepričajte, ali je orodje
izključeno in ali je akumulatorska baterija
odstranjena.
Nameščanje ali odstranjevanje
akumulatorske baterije
POZOR: Vedno izklopite orodje, preden name-
stite ali odstranite akumulatorsko baterijo.
POZOR: Kadar nameščate ali odstranjujete
akumulatorsko baterijo, trdno držite orodje in
akumulatorsko baterijo. Če orodja in akumulatorske
baterije ne držite trdno, se lahko zgodi, da vam zdr-
sneta iz rok, posledica pa je lahko poškodba orodja in
akumulatorske baterije ter telesna poškodba.
► Sl.1: 1. Rdeči indikator 2. Gumb 3. Baterijski vložek
Če želite odstraniti akumulatorsko baterijo, jo potisnite iz
orodja, pri tem pa pomikajte gumb na sprednji strani vložka.
Akumulatorsko baterijo vstavite tako, da poravnate jeziček na
bateriji z utorom na ohišju in jo potisnete v ležišče. Potisnite jo
do konca, da se zaskoči. Če je rdeči indikator na zgornji strani
gumba viden, pomeni, da baterija ni ustrezno zaklenjena.
POZOR: Vedno namestite akumulatorsko
baterijo tako, da rdeči indikator ni več viden. Če
tega ne upoštevate, lahko baterija nepričakovano
pade iz orodja in poškoduje vas ali osebe v neposre-
dni bližini.
POZOR: Ne nameščajte akumulatorske bate-
rije s silo. Če se akumulatorska baterija ne zaskoči
zlahka, ni pravilno vstavljena.
Zaščitni sistem orodja/akumulatorja
Orodje je opremljeno z zaščitnim sistemom orodja/aku-
mulatorja. Sistem samodejno prekine napajanje orodja,
da podaljša življenjsko dobo orodja in akumulatorja.
Orodje se bo samodejno zaustavilo med delovanjem,
če sta orodje ali akumulator zamenjana pod naslednjimi
pogoji. V nekaterih primerih svetijo indikatorji.
Zaščita pred preobremenitvijo
Kadar orodje/akumulator uporabljate na način, ki
povzroča uporabo neobičajno visokega toka, se orodje
samodejno ustavi. V tem primeru izklopite orodje in
prekinite delo, ki je povzročilo preobremenitev orodja.
Nato vklopite orodje, da ga znova zaženete.
Zaščita pred pregrevanjem
Ko se orodje/akumulator pregreje, se orodje samodejno ustavi,
indikator akumulatorja pa utripa pribl. 60 sekund. V tem primeru
počakajte, da se orodje ohladi, preden ga znova vklopite.

Funkcija samodejne spremembe hitrosti
To orodje lahko deluje v „načinu z visoko hitrostjo“ in
„načinu z visokim navorom“.
Orodje samodejno spremeni način delovanja glede na
delovno obremenitev. Če je delovna obremenitev nizka,
orodje deluje v „načinu z visoko hitrostjo“ za hitrejše
rezanje. Če je delovna obremenitev visoka, orodje deluje
v „načinu z visokim navorom“ za močnejše rezanje.
► Sl.5: 1. Indikator načina
Indikator načina sveti zeleno, ko je orodje v „načinu z
visokim navorom“.
Če orodje uporabljate s čezmerno obremenitvijo, indikator
načina utripa zeleno. Indikator načina preneha utripati in
zasveti ali se izklopi, če zmanjšate obremenitev orodja.
