Guide Rails Compatibility:** Some Makita circular saws are compatible with guide rails, ensuring precise and straight cuts over longer distances. Once thing I did notice, is that unlike the Makita LXT hammer drill there is no third connector to the battery, only two. The impact driver also has only two connectors. I am guessing that the third connector is for monitoring the battery temperature and allows the hammer drill to cut out when it gets too hot (it's done this on me when drilling about 6-7 wall plugs in a row). The 610 is missing the third connector, and that says to me that you should only use it for short cuts. If you're doing longer cuts take regular breaks or risk your battery. It will be interesting to see if the 630 has the third connector. Powerful Motor:** The Makita 5704R typically features a robust and powerful motor, providing ample cutting power for a variety of applications.

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. It's not like the ones on the Makita drills, which are invaluable and in my view a major selling point. Can't comment on dust extraction, I'd need to try one without to understand if that's needed. Vibration used to be something that was overlooked by employers and employees alike. However, with the effects of vibration being revealed, it was necessary for manufacturers and employers to take a serious stance to protect the workforce. The vibration magnitude is the frequency weighted acceleration value measured in m/s 2. Dust Extraction:** Many models of the 5704R come equipped with a dust extraction system to keep your work area clean and reduce exposure to sawdust. 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. Here are some key features and information about the Makita 5704R: Makita 5704RK 7"/190mm 240V Circular Saw, complete with Heavy Duty Carry Case and Carbide Tipped Saw BladeErgonomic Design:** Makita tools are known for their ergonomic design, making them comfortable to use and reducing user fatigue during extended periods of work.

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. Bevel Cuts:** Some models of the 5704R have bevel cutting capabilities, meaning you can tilt the base plate to make beveled cuts at different angles, enhancing the saw's versatility. Durability:** Makita tools are renowned for their durability and build quality, ensuring a long tool lifespan even in demanding work environments. I've now bought and tried the 610. I got it bare unit only, and it comes without any box, they just supplied the unit with manual and allen key. The manual says to only use the saw with the offcut on the saw side (left), so I guess J&K is breaking that rule? 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. 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). This can potentially leave employers open to real issues. In July 2005 the Physical Agents Directive became UN law. The law meant that all power tools had to have their vibration levels measured and that information to be made available to anyone. This information helps towards educating the operator to understand how long they can safely operate a machine.Circular Saw Blade:** It is designed for use with a circular saw blade, allowing you to make precise and straight cuts through different materials such as wood, plywood, MDF, and more.
