clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use

solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic

guard because this may cause damage to the guard.

If the blade guard becomes dirty and needs to be cleaned

for proper operation follow the steps below:

With the tool switched off and unplugged, 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. (Fig. 5)

With the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more

completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning

is complete reverse procedure above and secure bolt. Do

not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard becomes

damaged through age or UV light exposure, contact a

Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT DEFEAT

OR REMOVE GUARD.

Positioning kerf board (Fig. 6 & 7)

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 (3 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

screw 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.

NOTICE:

• After setting the bevel angle ensure that the kerf

boards are adjusted properly. Correct adjustment of

the kerf boards will help provide proper support of the

workpiece minimizing workpiece tear out.

Maintaining maximum cutting capacity

This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum

cutting capacity for a 216 mm saw blade.

Unplug the tool before any adjustment is attempted.

When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit

position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:

(Fig. 8 & 9)

First, unplug the tool. Push the carriage toward the guide

fence fully and lower the handle completely. Use the hex.

wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periphery 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.

WARNING:

• After installing a new blade and with the tool

unplugged, always be sure that the blade does not

contact any part of the lower base when the handle

is lowered completely. If a blade makes contact with

the base it may cause kickback and result in serious

personal injury.

Stopper arm (Fig. 10)

The lower limit position of the blade can be easily

adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, move 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.

Adjusting the miter angle (Fig. 11)

Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the turn

base while pressing down the lock lever. When you have

moved the grip to the position where the pointer points to

the desired angle on the miter scale, securely tighten the

grip clockwise.

CAUTION:

• After changing the miter angle, always secure the turn

base by tightening the grip firmly.

NOTICE:

• When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the handle

fully.

Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. 12)

To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of

the tool counterclockwise. Unlock the arm by pushing the

handle somewhat strongly in the direction that you intend

to tilt the saw blade.

NOTE:

• Lever can be adjusted to a different lever angle by

removing the screw holding the lever and securing the

lever at a desired angle. (Fig. 13)

Tilt the saw blade until the pointer points to the desired

angle on the bevel scale. Then tighten the lever clockwise

firmly to secure the arm. (Fig. 14)

To tilt the saw blade to right 5° or left 48°: set the saw

blade to 0° for right 5°, or 45° for left 48°. Then slightly tilt

the saw blade to the opposite side. Push the release

button and tilt the saw blade to the desired position.

Tighten the lever to secure the arm.

CAUTION:

• After changing the bevel angle, always secure the arm

by tightening the lever clockwise.

NOTICE:

• When tilting the saw blade be sure the handle is fully

raised.

• When changing bevel angles, be sure to position the

kerf boards appropriately as explained in the

“Positioning kerf board” section.

Slide lock adjustment (Fig. 15)

To lock the slide pole, turn the locking screw clockwise.
