CAUTION:

•

Do not use saw blades which do not comply with the

characteristics specified in these instructions.

•

Do not use saw blades the disc of which is thicker or

the set of which is smaller than the thickness of the

riving knife.

To remove the saw blade, depress the shaft lock fully

to prevent shaft rotation, then use the hex wrench to

loosen the hex socket head bolt. (Fig. 1)

Now remove the outer flange, raise the safety cover

as much as possible, and remove the saw blade.

(Fig. 2)

Install the saw blade using the reverse of the removal

procedure. Install the inner flange, saw blade, outer

flange and hex socket head bolt, in that order. Be sure

to secure the hex socket head bolt tightly with the

shaft lock fully depressed. (Fig.1&3)

CAUTION:

•

Make sure that the blade teeth point forward in the

same direction as the tool rotation (the arrow on the

blade should point in the same direction as the

arrow on the tool).

•

Never depress the shaft lock while the saw is

running.

•

Use only the Makita socket wrench to remove or

install the blade.

Riving knife adjustment (Fig. 4)

Use the socket wrench to loosen the hex head socket

bolt for the riving knife adjustment, then raise the

safety cover. Move the riving knife up or down over

the two protuberances for settings indicated in the

illustration, so as to obtain the proper clearance

between the riving knife and saw blade.

CAUTION:

Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted such that:

The distance between the riving knife and the toothed

rim of the saw blade is not more than 5 mm.

The toothed rim does not extend more than 5 mm

beyond the lower edge of the riving knife.

Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 5)

Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the

base up or down. At a desired depth of cut, secure the

base by tightening the lever.

CAUTION:

•

Use a shallow depth of cut when cutting thin work-

piece for cleaner, safer cuts.

•

After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the

lever securely.
