The indicator helps cut through an existing cut-off line
penciled on a workpiece.
1.
Hold the handle and lower the circular saw blade
so a dense shadow of the blade is thrown against a
workpiece.
2. Align a cut-off line drawn on the workpiece with
the shadowed cutting line.
3. Adjust the miter angles and bevel angles if
necessary.
NOTE: Be sure to turn off the lamp switch after use
because turning on the light consumes the battery
power.

after you cease operation.

Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly cease to function after
the switch trigger is released, have the tool serviced at
a Makita service center.
Constant speed control
The tool is provided with an electronic speed control
which helps maintain a constant blade rotation speed
