Sighting (Fig. 15)

For straight cuts, align the 0° position on the front of the

base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the

45° position with it. The position of the top guide is

adjustable.

Lighting the lamp

CAUTION:

• Do not look in the lamp or see the source of lamp

directly. (Fig. 16)

Only to turn on the lamp, pull the switch trigger without

pressing the lock-off lever. To turn on the lamp and run

the tool, press the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger

with pressing the lock-off lever. The lamp keeps on

lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled. The lamp

goes out 10 -15 seconds after releasing the trigger.

NOTE:

• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be

careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower

the illumination.

• Do not use gasoline, thinner or the like to clean the lens

of lamp. Using such substances will damage the lens.

Hook

CAUTION:

• Always remove the battery when hanging the tool with

the hook.

• Never hook the tool at high location or on potentially

unstable surface.

The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.

To use the hook, simply turn it until it snaps into the open

position.

When not in use, always turn the hook until it snaps into

the closed position. (Fig. 17)

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any

work on the tool.

Removing or installing saw blade

CAUTION:

• Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing up at

the front of the tool.

• Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the

blade.

To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the

blade cannot revolve and use the wrench to loosen the

hex bolt clockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange

and blade. (Fig. 18 & 19)

To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in

reverse. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT

COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY.

When changing blade, make sure to also clean the upper

and lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust as

discussed in the Maintenance section. Such efforts do not

replace the need to check lower guard operation before

each use.

For tool with the inner flange for other than 15.88 mm

hole-diameter saw blade

CAUTION:

• Make sure that the protrusion “a” on the inner

flange that is positioned outside fits into the saw

blade hole “a” perfectly. Mounting the blade on the

wrong side can result in the dangerous vibration.

The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on one

side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the other

side. Choose a correct side on which protrusion fits into

the saw blade hole perfectly.

Next, mount the inner flange onto the mounting shaft so

that the correct side of protrusion on the inner flange

faces outward and then place saw blade and outer flange.

(Fig. 20)

BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT

COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY.

For tool with the inner flange for a 15.88 mm hole-

diameter saw blade (country specific) (Fig. 21 & 22)

Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing

outward onto the mounting shaft and then place saw

blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer flange and

hex bolt.

BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT

COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY.

WARNING:

• Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always

be sure that the correct ring for the blade’s arbor

hole you intend to use is installed between the

inner and the outer flanges. Use of the incorrect

arbor hole ring may result in the improper mounting of

the blade causing blade movement and severe

vibration resulting in possible loss of control during

operation and in serious personal injury.

Hex wrench storage (Fig. 23)

When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the

figure to keep it from being lost.

Connecting a vacuum cleaner (Optional

accessory in some countries) (Fig. 24 &

25)

When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,

connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool.

Install the dust nozzle on the tool using the screw. Then

connect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle

as shown in the figure.

For tool without dust nozzle provided as a standard

equipment, replace the lever fixed on the lower guard to

the one supplied with the dust nozzle (optional accessory)

at the same time when installing the dust nozzle.

Otherwise you will not be able to make a cut because the

lower guard movement is hindered by the dust nozzle.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line

gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in

overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,

possibly causing severe injury.
