To install the circular saw blade, follow the removal
procedure in reverse.
WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT SECURELY. Also be careful not to tighten
the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand from the hex
wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
If the inner flange is removed,
be sure to install it on the spindle. When install-
ing, choose a correct side on which protrusion
fits into the circular saw blade hole perfectly.
Mounting the circular saw blade on the wrong side
can result in the dangerous vibration.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to also clean
the upper and lower guards of accumulated metal chips as dis-
cussed in the Maintenance section. Such efforts do not replace
the need to check lower guard operation before each use.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Always wear eye protection or
goggle before operation.
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.
CAUTION:
Never twist or force the tool in the
cut. This may cause motor overload and/or a danger-
ous kickback, resulting in serious injury to the operator.
CAUTION:
Always use the circular saw blades
appropriate for your job. The use of inappropriate
circular saw blades may cause a poor cutting perfor-
mance and/or present a risk of personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not use a deformed or cracked
circular saw blade. Replace it with a new one.
► Fig.12
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 the tool, they cannot be cut by
the circular saw blade. Set the base on the workpiece
to be cut without the circular saw blade making any
contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the circular
saw blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool
forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your cutting 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 circular saw
blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious
injury. Release switch, wait for the circular saw 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 particles being ejected from
the tool. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
The sight grooves in the base makes it easy to check
the distance between the front edge of the circular saw
blade and the workpiece whenever the circular saw
blade is set to the maximum depth of cut.

CAUTION:
Do not stack materials when cut-
ting them.
CAUTION:
Do not cut hardened steel, wood,
plastics, concrete, tile, etc. Cut only mild steel,
aluminum and stainless steel with a suitable
circular saw blade.
CAUTION:
Do not touch the circular saw
blade, workpiece or cutting chips with bare hands
immediately after cutting. They may be extremely
hot and could burn your skin.
CAUTION:
If the tool is operated continuously
until the battery cartridge has discharged, allow
the tool to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding
with a fresh battery.
Rip fence (Guide rule)
Optional accessory
CAUTION:
Make sure that the rip fence is
securely installed in the correct position before
use. Improper attachment may cause dangerous
kickback.
► Fig.14: 1. Rip fence (Guide rule) 2. Clamping screw
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in posi-
tion with the clamping screw on the front of the base. It
also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched
off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempt-
ing to perform inspection or maintenance.
CAUTION:
Clean out the upper and lower guards
to ensure there is no accumulated metal chips which
may impede the operation of the lower guarding sys-
tem. A dirty guarding system may limit the proper opera-
tion which could result in serious personal injury. When
using compressed air to blow metal chips out of the
guards, wear a proper eye and breathing protection.
CAUTION:
After each use, clean up the inside
of the dust box and wipe off the saw dust on the
tool. Fine metallic dust may come inside the tool and
cause malfunction or a fire.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
