ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

•

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the

tool.

Installing or removing saw blade

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before installing or removing the blade.

• Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to

install or remove the blade. Failure to do so may

result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of

the hex bolt. This could cause an injury.

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.

Fig.13

Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the

socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt counterclockwise.

Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange and blade.

Fig.15

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 securely

clockwise while pressing the shaft lock.

Fig.17

CAUTION:

• The inner flange has a 25 mm diameter on one side

and a 25.4 mm diameter on the other. The side with

25.4 mm diameter is marked by "25.4". Use the

correct side for the hole diameter of the blade you

intend to use. Mounting the blade on the wrong side

can result in dangerous vibration.

Slip the pin on the blade guard into the slot in the guide

arm while returning the blade guard to its original fully

closed position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to

secure the center cover. Lower the handle to make sure

that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft

lock has released spindle before making cut.

Dust bag

Fig.19

The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean

and dust collection easy. 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 Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw,

more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:

• It is extremely important to always secure the

workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure

to do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or

the workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL

INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting

operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade

has come to a complete stop.

CAUTION:

• When cutting long workpieces, use supports that

are as high as the top surface level of the turn base.

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.

Horizontal vise (optional accessory)

Fig.21

The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left or

right side of the base. When performing 15° or greater

miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side opposite
