Special Considerations For Makita Circular Saw Blades

All Makita circular saw blades have teeth that are designed to cut in one direction. This is towards the outside of your circle.

Make sure your circular saw blade is not in direct contact with anything flammable when it’s plugged in. Do not damage any combustible materials by cutting into them!

Tips And Tricks

  2. You should take care when working near an outlet or extension cord. You should also avoid running a circular saw near water as it could cause serious injury.
  3. Keep your hands close to the blade during the operation of your circular saw to avoid kickback. This is when the blade grabs and causes it jump back. You should also ensure that no objects are within six inches of the area you are cutting.
  4. Always use your circular saw on a flat surface. The blade could slip if you try to cut something on an uneven or inclined surface. This can cause serious damage to your saw as well as the object you are cutting.
