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.

Sub-fence

For European countries only

CAUTION: When performing left bevel cuts,

ip the sub-fence outward. Otherwise, it may con-

tact the blade or a part of the tool, and may result in

seriousinjurytotheoperator.

►Fig.21: 1. Sub-fence

This tool is equipped with the sub-fence. Usually posi-

tion the sub-fence inside. However, when performing

leftbevelcuts,ipitoutward.

Dust bag

►Fig.22: 1. Dust bag

►Fig.23: 1. Fastener

The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean

anddustcollectioneasy.Toattachthedustbag,t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efcient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.

►Fig.24: 1. Support 2. Turn base

Vertical vise

►Fig.25: 1. Vise knob 2. Screw 3. Vise arm 4. Vise

rod

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on

either the left or right side of the guide fence. Insert the

vise rod into the hole in the guide fence and tighten the

screw to secure the vise rod.

Position the vise arm according to the thickness and

shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by

tightening the screw. Make sure that no part of the tool

contacts the vise when lowering the handle all the way.

If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.

Presstheworkpieceatagainsttheguidefenceandthe

turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting

positionandsecureitrmlybytighteningtheviseknob.

CAUTION: The workpiece must be secured

rmly against the turn base and guide fence with

the vise during all operations.

OPERATION

►Fig.26

CAUTION: Before use, be sure to release the

handle from the lowered position by pulling the

stopper pin.

CAUTION: Make sure the blade is not con-

tacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is

turned on.

CAUTION: Do not apply excessive pressure

on the handle when cutting. Too much force may

result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cut-

tingefciency.Pressdownhandlewithonlyasmuch

force as necessary for smooth cutting and without

signicantdecreaseinbladespeed.

CAUTION: Gently press down the handle

to perform the cut. If the handle is pressed down

with force or if lateral force is applied, the blade may

vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece

and the precision of the cut may be impaired.
