power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.

WARNING FOR USING
TIPPED SAW
Work area safety
1. Ensure the Dust Bag is xed correctly. Without the
Dust Bag, when Tipped Saw Blades are damaged,
pieces of the blades y off and can cause serious
personal injury.
2. Keep bystanders away from operations. Even with
the Dust Bag tted, damaged blades or hot debris
can y out of the bag, resulting in serious personal
injury.
3. Sparking may occur when cutting with Tipped Saw
Blades. Do not use the tool where there is the risk
of re or explosion.
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 tted, damaged blades or hot debris can y
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 specication.
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 rmly, 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.

9ENGLISH
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.
