Switch action

WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge on the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released. Operating a tool
with a switch that does not actuate properly can lead
to loss of control and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use tool without a fully
operative switch trigger. Any tool with an inoper-
ative switch is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be
repaired before further usage or serious personal
injury may occur.
WARNING:
For your safety, this tool is equipped
with a lock-off button which prevents the tool from
unintended starting. NEVER use the tool if it runs
when you simply pull the switch trigger without
pressing the lock-off button. A switch in need of
repair may result in unintentional operation and seri-
ous personal injury. Return tool to a Makita service
center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard
without pressing in the lock-off button. This can
cause switch breakage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.

Lighting up the lamp
CAUTION:
This is not a rainproof light. Do not
wash the light in water or use it in a rain or a wet area.
Such a conduct can cause an electric shock and fume.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the lens of the light, as
it is very hot while it is lighted or shortly after it is
turned off. This may cause a burn to a human body.
CAUTION:
Do not apply impact to the light, which
may cause damage or shorted service time to it.
CAUTION:
Do not keep casting the beam of the
light to your eyes. This can cause your eyes to be hurt.
CAUTION:
Do not cover the light with clothes,
carton, cardboard or similar objects while it is
lighted, which can cause a fire or an ignition.
CAUTION:
Do not look in the light or see the
source of light directly.
To turn on the lamp, press the upper position (I) of the switch.
To turn off the lamp, press the lower position (0) of the switch.

NOTE: Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of
the lamp. Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or
it may lower the illumination.

3. Tighten the adjusting screw firmly at the position
where it stops sliding.
NOTE: Laser line is factory adjusted so that it is positioned
within 1 mm from the side surface of the blade (cutting position).
NOTE: When laser line appears dim and hard to see
because of direct sunlight, relocate the work area to a
place where there is less direct sunlight.
Aligning the laser line
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with the laser line.
► Fig.31
A) When you want to obtain the correct size on the left side
of workpiece, shift the laser line to the left of the blade.
