32. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that is

marked on the tool or specified in the manual. Use

of an incorrectly sized blade may affect the proper

guarding of the blade or guard operation which could

result in serious personal injury.

33. Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch

hardened on blades slows saw and increases

potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first

removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and

pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use

gasoline.

34. Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when

use the tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING:

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained

from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety

rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to

follow the safety rules stated in this instruction

manual may cause serious personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the

tool.

Adjusting depth of cut

CAUTION:

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

securely. (Fig. 8)

Loosen the lever on the depth guide 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. 9 & 10)

Loosen the clamping screws. Set for the desired angle

(0°- 45°) by tilting accordingly, then tighten the clamping

screws securely.

Sighting (Fig. 11)

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.

Switch action

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in 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 in

the lock-off button. This can cause switch breakage.

(Fig. 12)

To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally

pulled, a lock-off button is provided.

To start the tool, depress the lock-off button and pull the

switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

WARNING:

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

button 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

button. Return tool to a Makita service center for proper

repairs BEFORE further usage.

• NEVER tape down or defeat purpose and function of

lock-off button.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before adjusting or checking function 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 counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt,

outer flange and blade. (Fig. 13)

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. (Fig. 14)

For tool with the inner flange for other than 15.88 mm

hole-diameter saw blade (Fig. 15)

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.

BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE

SECURELY.

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.

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

diameter saw blade (country specific) (Fig. 16 & 17)

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 CLOCKWISE

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
