Your risk from these exposures varies, depend-
ing on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out micro-
scopic particles.
34. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
35. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.
36. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
37. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other
parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the machine is running and the saw head
is not in the rest position.

INSTALLATION
Bench mounting
When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the low-
ered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper pin
by lowering the handle slightly and pulling the stopper
pin. (Fig. 1)
This tool should be bolted with four bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’s
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
(Fig. 2)
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Blade guard (Fig. 3 & 4)
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-
matically. The blade guard returns to its original position
when the cut is completed and the handle is raised.
NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE BLADE GUARD
OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.
NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARD OR
SPRING ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED.
DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or work-
piece is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and
clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic
guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, use the supplied socket wrench to
loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover. Loosen the
hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise and raise the
blade guard and center cover. With the blade guard so
positioned, cleaning can be more completely and effi-
ciently accomplished. When cleaning is complete,
reverse procedure above and secure bolt. Do not remove
spring holding blade guard. If guard becomes discolored
through age or UV light exposure, contact a Makita ser-
vice center for a new guard. DO NOT DEFEAT OR
REMOVE GUARD.
Positioning kerf board (Fig. 5 & 6)
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base
to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The kerf
boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade does
not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf
boards as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (2 each on
left and right) securing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them
only to the extent that the kerf boards can still be easily
moved by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the
stopper pin to lock the handle in the lowered position.
Loosen the knob which secures the slide poles. Pull the
carriage toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that
the kerf boards just contact the sides of the blade teeth.
Tighten the front screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the
carriage toward the guide fence fully and adjust the kerf
boards so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of
blade teeth. Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten
firmly).
After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin
and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws
securely.
CAUTION:
Before and after changing the bevel angle, always
adjust the kerf boards as described above.
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity (Fig. 7 &
8)
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cut-
ting capacity for a 305 mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Push the carriage toward the guide
fence fully and lower the handle completely. Use the
socket wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periph-
ery of the blade extends slightly below the top surface of
the turn base at the point where the front face of the
guide fence meets the top surface of the turn base.
With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while
holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base. Re-
adjust slightly, if necessary.
CAUTION:
• After installing a new blade, always be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base when
the handle is lowered completely. Always do this with
the tool unplugged.
Stopper arm (Fig. 9)
The lower limit position of the blade can be easily
adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, rotate the
stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the
figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops
at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.
