away while operating a power tool. Distrac-  
tions can cause you to lose control.  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must  
be used for appropriate conditions.  
Tool Use and Care  
Electrical Safety  
12. Use clamps or other practical way to  
secure and support the workpiece to a  
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or  
against your body is unstable and may lead  
to loss of control.  
4. A battery operated tool with integral bat-  
teries or a separate battery pack must be  
recharged only with the specified charger  
for the battery. A charger that may be suit-  
able for one type of battery may create a risk  
of fire when used with another battery.  
13. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for  
your application. The correct tool will do the  
job better and safer at the rate for which it is  
designed.  
5. Use battery operated tool only with specif-  
ically designated battery pack. Use of any  
other batteries may create a risk of fire.  
14. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it  
on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled  
with the switch is dangerous and must be  
repaired.  
Personal Safety  
6. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and  
use common sense when operating a  
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or  
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or  
medication. A moment of inattention while  
operating power tools may result in serious  
personal injury.  
15. Disconnect battery pack from tool or  
place the switch in the locked or off posi-  
tion before making any adjustments,  
changing accessories, or storing the tool.  
Such preventive safety measures reduce the  
risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-  
ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep  
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from  
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long  
hair can be caught in moving parts.  
16. Store idle tools out of reach of children  
and other untrained persons. Tools are  
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
17. When battery pack is not in use, keep it  
away from other metal objects like: paper  
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other  
small metal objects that can make a con-  
nection from one terminal to another.  
Shorting the battery terminals together may  
cause sparks, burns, or a fire.  
8. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch  
is in the locked or off position before  
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with  
your finger on the switch or inserting the bat-  
tery pack into a tool with the switch on invites  
accidents.  
18. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting  
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained  
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to  
bind and are easier to control.  
9. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches  
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a  
key that is left attached to a rotating part of  
the tool may result in personal injury.  
19. Check for misalignment or binding of  
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any  
other condition that may affect the tool’s  
operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-  
viced before using. Many accidents are  
caused by poorly maintained tools.  
10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing  
and balance at all times. Proper footing and  
balance enable better control of the tool in  
unexpected situations.  
11. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye  
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety

tenance performed by unqualified personnel  
may result in a risk of injury.  
22. When servicing a tool, use only identical  
replacement parts. Follow instructions in  
the Maintenance section of this manual.  
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow  
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of  
shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES  
USB068-1  
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from  
repeated use) replace strict adherence to circular saw safety  
rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer  
serious personal injury.  
1. DANGER! Keep hands away from cutting  
area and 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.  
To check lower guard, open lower guard by  
hand, then release and watch guard closure.  
Also check to see that Retracting Lever does  
not touch tool housing. Leaving blade  
exposed is VERY DANGEROUS and can  
lead to serious personal injury.  
Keep your body positioned to either side  
of the saw blade, but not in line with the  
saw blade. KICKBACK could cause the saw  
to jump backwards. (See “Causes and Oper-  
ator Prevention of Kickback”)  
Do not reach underneath the work. The  
guard can not protect you from the blade  
below the work. Do not attempt to remove cut  
material when blade is moving.  
3. Check the operation and condition of the  
lower guard spring. If the guard and the  
spring are not operating properly, they  
must be serviced before use. Lower guard  
may operate sluggishly due to damaged  
parts, gummy deposits, or a buildup of debris.  
4. Lower guard should be Retracted manu-  
ally only for special cuts such as “Pocket  
Cuts” and “Compound Cuts.Raise lower  
guard by retracting Lever. As soon as  
blade enters the material, lower guard  
must be released. For all other sawing, the  
lower guard should operate automatically.  
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off. Wait  
until blade stops before grasping cut material.  
2. Check lower guard for proper closing  
before each use. Do not operate saw if  
lower guard does not move freely and  
close instantly. Never clamp or tie the  
lower guard into the open position. If saw  
is accidentally dropped, lower guard may be  
bent. Raise the lower guard with the Retract-  
ing Lever and make sure it moves freely and  
does not touch the blade or any other part, in  
all angles and depths of cut.  
5. Always observe that the lower guard is  
covering the blade before placing saw  
down on bench or floor. 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.  
Maintain a firm grip on the saw and posi-  
tion your body and arm in a way that  
allows you to resist KICKBACK forces.  
KICKBACK forces can be controlled by the  
operator, if proper precautions are taken.  
When blade is binding, or when interrupt-  
ing a cut for any reason, release the trig-  
ger and hold the saw motionless in the  
material until the blade comes to a com-  
plete stop. Never attempt to remove the  
saw from the work or pull the saw back-  
ward while the blade is in motion or KICK-  
BACK may occur. Investigate and take  
corrective actions to eliminate the cause of  
blade binding.  
When restarting a saw in the workpiece,  
center the saw blade in the kerf and check  
that teeth are not engaged into the mate-  
rial. If saw blade is binding, it may walk up or  
KICKBACK from the workpiece as the saw is  
restarted.  
Support large panels to minimize 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 as shown in Fig. 1.  
6. NEVER hold piece being cut in your hands  
or across your leg. It is important to support  
the work properly to minimize body exposure,  
blade binding, or loss of control.  
7. Hold 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 tool “live” and  
shock the operator.  
8. When ripping always use a rip fence or  
straight edge guide. This improves the  
accuracy of cut and reduces the chance for  
blade binding.  
9. Always use blades with correct size and  
shape (diamond vs. round) arbor holes.  
Blades that do not match the mounting hard-  
ware of the saw will run eccentrically, causing  
loss of control.  
10. Never use damaged or incorrect blade  
washers or bolts. The blade washers and  
bolt were specially designed for your saw, for  
optimum performance and safety of opera-  
tion.  
To minimize the risk of blade pinching and  
kickback. When cutting operation requires  
the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the  
saw shall be rested on the larger portion and  
the smaller piece cut off.  
11. Causes and Operator Prevention of Kick-  
back:  
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched,  
bound, 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 bound 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 wood  
causing the blade to climb out of the kerf and  
jump back toward the operator.  
Fig. 1 To avoid kickback, do support board or  
panel near the cut.  
Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or  
incorrect operating procedures or conditions  
and can be avoided by taking proper precau-  
tions as given below:  
5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Push the saw forward at a speed so that the  
blade cuts without slowing.  
12. Be aware that this tool is always in an  
operating condition, because it does not  
have to be plugged into an electrical out-  
let.  
13. Use extra caution when cutting damp  
wood, pressure treated lumber, or wood  
containing knots. Adjust speed of cut to  
maintain smooth advancement of tool without  
decrease in blade speed.  
Fig. 2 Do not support board or panel away from  
the cut.  
Do not use dull or damaged blade.  
Unsharpened or improperly set blades pro-  
duce narrow kerf causing excessive friction,  
blade binding and KICKBACK. Keep blade  
sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch hard-  
ened on blades slows saw and increases  
potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by  
first removing it from tool, then cleaning it  
with gum and pitch remover, hot water or ker-  
osene. Never use gasoline.  
Blade depth and bevel adjusting locking  
levers must be tight and secure before  
making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while  
cutting, it will cause binding and KICKBACK.  
Use extra caution when making a “Pocket  
Cut” into existing walls or other blind  
areas. The protruding blade may cut objects  
that can cause KICKBACK. For pocket cuts,  
retract lower guard using Retracting Lever.  
ALWAYS hold the tool firmly with both  
hands. NEVER place your hand or fingers  
behind the saw. If kickback occurs, the saw  
could easily jump backwards over your hand,  
leading to serious personal injury.  
14. Adjustments. Before cutting be sure  
depth and bevel adjustments are tight.  
15. Avoid Cutting Nails. Inspect for and  
remove all nails from lumber before cut-  
ting.  
16. The tool is provided with a front grip  
(motor housing) and rear handle for two  
hand operation. Operate with proper hand  
support and proper workpiece support.  
WARNING: It is important to support the  
workpiece properly and to hold the saw  
firmly to prevent loss of control which  
could cause personal injury. Fig. 4 illus-  
trates typical hand support of the saw.  
Fig. 4 A typical illustration of proper hand  
support and workpiece support.  
17. 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  
off when the cut is made. As examples,  
Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT way to cut off  
the end of a board, and Fig. 6 the WRONG  
way. If the workpiece is short or small,

19. WARNING: Blade coasts to stop after  
switch is released. Contact with coasting  
blade can cause serious injury. Before  
setting the tool down after completing a  
cut, be sure that the lower (telescoping)  
guard has closed and the blade has come  
to a complete stop.  
20. Some material contains chemicals which  
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust  
inhalation and skin contact. Follow mate-  
rial supplier safety data.

NOTE:  
The battery charger is for charging Makita battery  
cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other  
manufacturers batteries.  
When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery  
cartridge which has not been used for a long period of  
time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal  
condition and does not indicate a problem. You can  
recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it  
completely and recharging a couple of times.  
If you charge a battery cartridge from a just operated  
tool or a battery cartridge which has been left in a  
location exposed to direct sunlight or heat for a long  
time, the charging light may flash in red color. If this  
occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after the  
battery cartridge cools. The battery cartridge will cool  
faster if you remove the battery cartridge from the high  
capacity battery charger.  
If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red  
color, charging is not possible. The terminals on the  
charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the  
battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.  
Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)  
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent  
spontaneous discharging after full charge, the charger will  
switch into its trickle charge (maintenance charge)mode  
and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.  
Tips for maintaining maximum battery life  
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely dis-  
charged.  
Always stop tool operation and charge the battery car-  
tridge when you notice less tool power.  
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge.  
Overcharging shortens the battery service life.  
3. Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at  
10°C - 40°C (50°F - 104°F).  
Let a hot battery cartridge cool down before charging it.  
4. Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge when  
you do not use it for more than six months.

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.  
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.  
001470  
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip  
(motor housing) and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the  
tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the  
blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the  
blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait  
until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool  
forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and  
advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.

1. Rear handle  
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing 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 blade and lead to  
dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release  
switch, wait for 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 wood dust  
being ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid  
injury.

WARNING  
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other  
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California  
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples  
of these chemicals are:  
lead from lead-based paints,  
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and  
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.  
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this  
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well  
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those  
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
