My new Makita circular saw, a grey import?

Ok I am an idiot.

 

It turns out the calibrated and curved depth locking is marked in big centimeters that look like inches. The reason for this is that scale on the lock is twice the distance of the blade from the depth adjustment pivot, so 1 big cm on the scale = 1 normal cm of blade below the base plate.

 

Over the years I have become alert to mail order outfits substituting non UK stock, I once bought a Sebo vacuUm from Amazon that arrived with a euro to UK plug adaptor and for the next 10 years the adaptor used to get wedged in the flex recoil mechanism. Then last year a dodgy Welsh power tool retailer sold me a few Makita items in a plain cardboard box with no Makita paperwork.
