OPERATION

(Fig. 15)

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.

• Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly hold

the tool by both the front grip and rear handle during

operations.

Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front

grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If

both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the

blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without

the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and

wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move

the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it

flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is

completed.

To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your

speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly fol-

low your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force

the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade

and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious

injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then

withdraw tool. Realign tool on a new cut line, and start

cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes

operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw.

Use eye protection to help avoid injury.

Rip fence (guide rule) (Fig. 16)

The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate

straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against

the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with

the screw on the front of the base. It also makes

repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or

maintenance.

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Adjusting for accuracy of 0° and 45° cut (vertical

and 45° cut) (Fig. 17 & 18)

This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is

off, adjust the adjusting screws with a hex wrench while

inspecting 0° or 45° the blade with the base using a trian-

gular rule or square rule, etc.

Adjusting for parallelism (Fig. 19)

The parallelism between the blade and the base has

been factory adjusted. But if it is off, you can adjust it as

the following procedure.

Make sure all levers and screws are tightened. Slightly

loosen the screw as illustrated. While opening the lower

guard, move the rear of base so that the distance A and

B are equal. After adjusting, tighten the screw. Make a

test cut to get a correct parallelism.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 20 & 21)

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.

Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep

the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.

Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same

time. Use only identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take

out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and

secure the brush holder caps.

After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in

brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 min-

utes. Then check the tool while running and electric

brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If the

electric brake is not working correctly, have the tool

repaired by a Makita service center.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-

formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always

using Makita replacement parts.
