• Low battery voltage:

The remaining battery capacity is too low and the tool

will not operate. In this situation, remove and

recharge the battery.

Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 10)

CAUTION:

• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever

securely.

Loosen the lever on the side of the rear handle and move

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

the base by tightening the lever.

For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than

one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper

cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous

KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

Bevel cutting (Fig. 11)

For Model DSS610 (Fig. 12)

Loosen the lever on the bevel scale plate on the front

base. Set for the desired angle (0° – 50°) by tilting

accordingly, then tighten the lever securely. Use the 45°

stopper when you do precise 45° angle cutting. Turn the

stopper counterclockwise fully for bevel cut (0° - 45°) and

turn it clockwise for 0° - 50° bevel cuts.

For Model DSS611

Loosen the lever on the bevel scale plate on the front

base. Set for the desired angle (0° – 50°) by tilting

accordingly, then tighten the lever securely.

Sighting (Fig. 13)

For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the

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

position with it.

Switch action (Fig. 14)

CAUTION:

• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,

always check to see that the switch trigger actuates

properly and returns to the “OFF” position when

released.

• Do not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing the

lock-off lever. This can cause switch breakage.

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally

pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, press

the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger. Release the

switch trigger to stop.

WARNING:

• For your safety, this tool is equipped with lock-off lever

which prevents the tool from unintended starting.

NEVER use the tool if it runs when you simply pull the

switch trigger without pressing the lock-off lever.

Return tool a MAKITA service center for proper repairs

BEFORE further usage.

• NEVER tape down or defeat purpose and function of

lock-off lever.

Lighting the lamp

For Model DSS610 only

CAUTION:

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

directly.

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

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

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

with the lock-off lever being pressed.

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.

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 (Fig. 15)

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.

To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in

reverse. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT

COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY. (Fig. 16)

When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper and

lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such efforts

do not, however, replace the need to check lower guard

operation before each use.

Only for tools with a ring (specific

country) (Fig. 17)

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. 18)

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

figure to keep it from being lost.
