Adjusting positive stops

The tool is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45° to

the table surface. To check and adjust the positive stops,

proceed as follows: (Fig. 8)

Move the handwheel as far as possible by turning it. Place

a triangular rule on the table and check to see if the blade

is at 90° or 45° to the table surface. If the blade is at an

angle shown in Fig. A, turn the adjusting screws clock-

wise; if it is at an angle shown in Fig. B, turn the adjusting

screws counterclockwise to adjust the positive stops. (Fig.

After adjusting the positive stops, set the blade at 90° to

the table surface. Then adjust the arrow pointer so that its

right edge is aligned to the 0° graduation. (Fig. 10)

then lower the levers to secure it. (Fig. 14 & 15)

When using the sub table (R), locate the scale plate on

the sub table after loosening the screw on it with a screw-

driver so that it becomes successive with the scale plate

on the main table. (Fig. 16)

Sub table (back) (Fig. 17)

To use the sub table (back), loosen the screw on the left

hand side under the table and pull it out backwards to the

desired length. At the desired length, tighten the screw

securely.

NOTE:

• When using the sub table (back) during use of the rip

fence, pull out the sub table (back) more than 50 mm

so that it does not hit against the top end of the rip

fence.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

The tool is shipped from the factory with the saw blade

and blade guard not in the installed condition. Assemble

as follows:

Installing or removing saw blade

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before installing or removing the blade.

• Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to install

or remove the blade. Failure to do so may result in

overtightening or insufficient tightening of the hex bolt.

This could cause an injury.

• Use the following saw blade. Do not use saw blades

which do not comply with the characteristics specified

in these instructions.

CAUTION:

• Check the arbor hole diameter of the blade before

installing the blade. Always use the correct ring for the

arbor hole of the blade you intend to use.

Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer

flange with the offset wrench and loosen the hex nut coun-

terclockwise with the wrench. Then remove the outer

flange. (Fig. 19)

Assemble the inner flange, ring, saw blade, outer flange

and hex nut onto the arbor, making sure that the teeth of

the blade are pointing down at the front of the table.

Always install the hex nut with its recessed side facing the

outer flange. (Fig. 20)

For all countries other than European countries

CAUTION:

• The silver ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is factory-

installed onto the spindle. The black ring 25 mm in

outer diameter is included as standard equipment.

Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always be

sure that the correct ring for the arbor hole of the blade

you intend to use is installed onto the spindle.

For European countries

CAUTION:

• The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed

between the inner and outer flanges.

• Keep the flange surface clean of dirt or other adhering

matter; it could cause blade slippage. Be sure that the

blade is installed so that the teeth are aligned in the

cutting (turning) direction.

To secure the blade in place, hold the outer flange with the

offset wrench, then tighten the hex nut clockwise with the

wrench. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX NUT

SECURELY. (Fig. 21)
