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.

Connecting a vacuum cleaner (optional

accessory) (Fig. 19 & 20)

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.

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.

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

the tool by both front grip and rear handle during

operations. (Fig. 21)

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 follow

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 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) (optional

accessory) (Fig. 22)

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

clamping 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.

• Clean out the upper and lower guards to ensure

there is no accumulated sawdust which may

impede the operation of the lower guarding

system. A dirty guarding system may limit the proper

operation which could result in serious personal injury.

The most effective way to accomplish this cleaning is

with compressed air. If the dust is being blown out of

the guards, be sure the proper eye and breathing

protection is used.

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

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Adjusting for parallelism (Fig. 23)

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.

Adjusting for accuracy of 0° cut (Fig. 24 &

25)

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

off, adjust the adjusting screws with a hex wrench while

inspecting 0° the blade with the base using a triangular

rule or square rule, etc.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 26)

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. (Fig. 27)

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

any other maintenance or adjustment should be

performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always

using Makita replacement parts.
