CAUTION:

• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far as 6

and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or 1, or the speed

adjusting function may no longer work.

• The speed adjusting dial is not for using low speed

rated saw blades but for obtaining a speed which is

suitable to material of workpiece. Use only saw blades

which are rated for at least the maximum no load

speed stated in the SPECIFICATIONS.

The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to

operate because of the following features.

Overload protector

When the tool is overloaded and current flows above a

certain level, the tool automatically stops to protect motor.

Constant speed control

Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.

Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is

kept constant even under load condition.

Soft start feature

Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Hex wrench storage (Fig. 17)

Hex wrench is stored on the tool. To remove hex wrench,

just pull it out.

To install hex wrench, place it on the grip and insert it as

far as it will go.

Removing or installing saw blade

CAUTION:

• Do not use saw blades which do not comply with the

characteristics specified in these instructions.

• Use only saw blades which are rated for at least the

maximum no load speed stated in the

the front of the tool.

• Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the

blade.

To remove the blade, push in the lock-off button to unlock

the upper limit stopper.

turned, lower the handle so that the lock pin fits in the

groove formed by the locking lever and the depth guide

with scale plate. Make sure that the lock pin fits in the

groove.

Press the shaft lock fully so that the blade cannot revolve

and use the wrench to loosen the hex bolt

counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange

and blade.

Blade guard cleaning

When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to also

clean the blade guard of accumulated sawdust as

discussed in the Maintenance section. Such efforts do not

replace the need to check guard operation before each

use.

Connecting a vacuum cleaner (Fig. 22)

When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,

connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Connect a

hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust port as shown in

the figure.

OPERATION

Section cutting (ordinary sawing) (Fig. 23)

CAUTION:

• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line

gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in

overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,

possibly causing severe injury.

• Never approach any part of your body under the tool

base when section cutting, especially at starting. Doing

so may cause serious personal injuries. The blade is

exposed under the tool base.

Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front

grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If

both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the

blade. Set the front of base on the workpiece to be cut

without the blade making any contact. Then push in the

lock-off button and turn the tool on and wait until the blade

attains full speed. Now press down the saw head slowly to

the preset depth of cut and simply move the tool forward

over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing

smoothly until the sawing is completed.

To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your

speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow

your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the

tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and

lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury.

Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdraw

tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again.

Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to

chips and dust being ejected from saw. Use eye

protection to help avoid injury.

When using with guide rail (accessory)

(Fig. 24 & 25)

Place the tool on the rear end of guide rail. Turn two

adjusting screws on the tool base so that the tool slides

smoothly without a clatter. Hold the tool firmly. The tool is

provided with both a front grip and rear handle. Use both

to best grasp the tool. Turn on the tool, press down the

tool to the preset depth of cut and cut the splinterguard
