These saws are very small and light if you compare them to say my standard site saw (a Makita 5704R). Although the amount of noise produced by a circular saw can vary between brands and models, long term exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. Working with users to solve the problem of vibration, Makita's AVT products have been designed in close relation to users needs at site level. The **Makita 5704R** is a circular saw, and it's a part of Makita's line of power tools known for their quality and reliability.

With built in warnings for when you might be approaching dangerous levels, we hope that with our help, less people will succumb to the problems caused by vibration.

It has all the information you'll need to keep yourself safe and within the boundaries of vibration exposure. Cutting Depth Adjustment:** The saw often comes with a cutting depth adjustment feature, allowing you to customize the depth of your cuts, which is useful for various projects.If steps are not taken to limit the amount of vibration a machine produces and the level of exposure an individual receives, then injuries such as Vibration White Finger (VWF) will occur through Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV). Safety Features:** The saw may include safety features such as a blade guard, electric brake, and a lock-off button to prevent accidental starts. You always need to fix the wood is some way when you are cutting it and I generally just plant my knee on it. The larger (165mm blade/66mm depth of cut) saws I know about are the BSS610 and BSS611 - both blade left (which makes them ideal for cutting framing in conjunction with a speed square). I did the same and didn't see any problem - it's not a heavy saw but you might risk a less accurate cut that way round.

Guide Rails Compatibility:** Some Makita circular saws are compatible with guide rails, ensuring precise and straight cuts over longer distances.

The law meant that all power tools had to have their vibration levels measured and that information to be made available to anyone. hi thanks again, your deffinateley starting to sell me on the 610, how does it handle cutting on a sawhorse or something, like if your at the end of a cut on a piece of 4 x 2, does it stay square? Built with HSE standards, you simply enter the vibration value of the tool (either manually or from a list of Makita products), how long you expect for trigger time and the Makita Vibration Calculator works out the rest. I didn't find the job light much use when cutting, I didn't think it added much, chances are you already have light over your bench.Ergonomic Design:** Makita tools are known for their ergonomic design, making them comfortable to use and reducing user fatigue during extended periods of work. It's not like the ones on the Makita drills, which are invaluable and in my view a major selling point.
