Installing or removing saw blade

WARNING:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before installing or removing the blade.

Accidental start up of the tool may result in serious

personal injury.

• Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to

install or remove the blade. Failure to use the wrench

may result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of

the hex bolt and serious personal injury. (Fig. 23)

Lock the handle in the raised position by pushing in the

stopper pin. (Fig. 24)

To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen the

hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it

counterclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center

cover.

WARNING:

• Do not remove any screw other than the hex bolt

illustrated. If you mistakenly remove another screw

and the blade guard comes off, make sure to re-

assemble the blade guard. (Fig. 25)

Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the socket

wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then remove the

hex bolt, outer flange and blade.

NOTE:

• If the inner flange is removed be sure to install it on the

spindle with its protrusion facing away from the blade. If

the flange is installed incorrectly the flange will rub

against the machine.

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

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. (Fig. 26)

To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,

making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface

of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the

blade case.

Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the

socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)

securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.

Return the blade guard and center cover to its original

position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the

center cover. Release the handle from the raised position

by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the handle to make sure

that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure the shaft

lock has released spindle before making cut.

Dust bag (Fig. 29)

The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations cleaner

and dust collection easier. To attach the dust bag, fit it

onto the dust nozzle.

When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag

from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag

of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles

adhering to the insides which might hamper further

collection.

NOTE:

If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, cleaner

operations can be performed.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:

• It is extremely important to always secure the

workpiece correctly with the proper type of vise or

crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so may result

in serious personal injury and cause damage to the tool

and/or the workpiece.

• After a cutting operation do not raise the blade

until it has come to a complete stop. The raising of a

coasting blade may result in serious personal injury

and damage to the workpiece.

• When cutting a workpiece that is longer than the

support base of the saw, the material should be

supported the entire length beyond the support

base and at the same height to keep the material

level. Proper workpiece support will help avoid blade

pinch and possible kickback which may result in

serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on the

vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the

workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support

workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch

and possible KICKBACK. (Fig. 30)

Guide fence (SLIDING FENCES)

adjustment (Fig. 31)

WARNING:

• Before operating the tool, make sure that the sliding

fence is secured firmly.

• Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of the

tool, especially the blade, contacts the sliding

fence. when fully lowering and raising the handle in

any position and while moving the carriage

through its full range of travel. If the blade makes

contact the sliding fence may result in kickback or
