Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
► Fig.32: 1. Hex bolt
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the turn
base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale. Then
turn the turn base slightly clockwise and counterclockwise
to seat the turn base in the 0° miter notch. (Leave as it is
if the pointer does not point to 0°.) Loosen the hex bolts
securing the guide fence using the socket wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by turning the handle latch to the locked
position. Square the side of the blade with the face
of the guide fence using a triangular rule, try-
square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex bolts on
the guide fence in the order from the right side.
► Fig.33: 1. Guide fence 2. Triangular rule
Make sure that the pointer on the indication plate points
to 0° on the miter scale. If the pointer does not point to
0°, loosen the screws which secure the indication plate
and adjust it so that the pointer will point to 0°.

Adjusting for smooth handle action
► Fig.35: 1. Gear housing 2. Hex lock nut 3. Arm
The hex lock nut which holds the gear housing and the
arm has been factory adjusted to assure smooth handle
action up and down and to guarantee precise cutting.
Do not tamper with it. Should looseness develop at the
gear housing and arm connection, perform the following
adjustment. Work the handle up and down while tighten-
ing the hex lock nut; the best position to tighten the hex
lock nut is just before the motor body weight is obvious.
After adjusting the hex lock nut, be sure that the handle
returns automatically to the initial, raised position from any
position. If the hex lock nut is too loose, the cutting accuracy
will be affected; if it is too tight, it will be hard to work the han-
dle up and down. Note that this is a self locking nut. It is a
special type that does not loosen in normal use. It should not
be overtightened or replaced with other types of nuts.
Replacing carbon brushes
► Fig.36: 1. Limit mark
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace when
they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean
and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon brushes should be
replaced at the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.

After use
• After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the tool with
a cloth or the like. Keep the blade guard clean according
to the directions in the previously covered "Blade guard".
Lubricate the sliding portions with tool oil to prevent rust.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
