15. When operating the saw, keep the cord away
from the cutting area and position it so that it will
not be caught on the workpiece during the cut-
ting operation. Operate with proper hand sup-
port, proper workpiece support, and supply cord
routing away from the work area.
WARNING:
It is important to support the workpiece properly
and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss of con-
trol which could cause personal injury. Fig. 4
illustrates typical hand support of the saw.
16. Place the wider portion of the saw base on that
part of the workpiece which is solidly supported,
not on the section that will fall off when the cut is
made.
As example, Fig. 5 illustrates the RIGHT way to
cut off the end of a board, and Fig. 6 the WRONG
way. If the workpiece is short or small, clamp it
down. DON'T TRY TO HOLD SHORT PIECES BY
HAND! (Fig. 6)
17. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw held
upside down in a vise. This is extremely danger-
ous and can lead to serious accidents. (Fig. 7)
18. Before setting the tool down after completing a
cut, be sure that the lower (telescoping) guard
has closed and the blade has come to a com-
plete stop.
19. Using manufacturer data
• Ensure that the diameter, thickness and other
characteristics of the saw blade are suitable for
the tool.
• Ensure that the saw blade is suitable for the
spindle speed of the tool .
20. Do not use any abrasive wheel.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Removing or installing saw blade
The following blade can be used with this tool.
Max. Min.
dia. dia.
20 mm
190 mm 170 mm
30 mm
The thickness of the riving knife is 1.8 mm.
CAUTION:
• Do not use saw blades which do not comply with the
characteristics specified in these instructions.
• Do not use saw blades the disc of which is thicker or
the set of which is smaller than the thickness of the riv-
ing knife.
To remove the saw blade, depress the shaft lock fully to
prevent shaft rotation, then use the hex wrench to loosen
the hex socket head bolt. (Fig. 8)
Now remove the outer flange, raise the safety cover as
much as possible, and remove the saw blade. (Fig. 9)

Install the saw blade using the reverse of the removal
procedure. Install the inner flange, saw blade, outer
flange and hex socket head bolt, in that order. Be sure to
secure the hex socket head bolt tightly with the shaft lock
fully depressed. (Fig. 10)
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the blade teeth point forward in the
same direction as the tool rotation (the arrow on the
blade should point in the same direction as the arrow
on the tool).
• The inner flange has a 30 mm diameter on one side
and a 20 mm diameter on the other. The side with 20
mm diameter is marked by "20". 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 dan-
gerous vibration.
• Use only the Makita hex wrench to remove or install the
blade.
Riving knife adjustment (Fig. 11)
Use the hex wrench to loosen the hex socket head bolt
for the riving knife adjustment, then raise the safety
cover. Move the riving knife up or down over the two pro-
truberances for settings indicated in the illustration, so as
to obtain the proper clearance between the riving knife
and saw blade.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted such that:
The distance between the riving knife and the toothed rim
of the saw blade is not more than 5 mm. The toothed rim
does not extend more than 5 mm beyond the lower edge
of the riving knife.
Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 12)
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base
up or down. At a desired depth of cut, secure the base by
tightening the lever.
CAUTION:
• Use a shallow depth of cut when cutting thin workpiece
for cleaner, safer cuts.
• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever
securely.
Adjusting for bevel cuts (Fig. 13)
Loosen the thumb screws in front and back, and tilt the
tool to the desired angle for bevel cuts (0° – 45°). Secure
the thumb screws tightly in front and back after making
the adjustment.
Sighting (Fig. 14)
For straight cuts, align the right notch on the front of the
base with your cutting line on the workpiece.
For 45° bevel cuts, align the left notch with it.
Switch action (Fig. 15)
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided.
To start the tool, depress the lock-off button and pull the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
