There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm between
the riving knife and the blade teeth. Loosen the hex bolts
(A) and adjust the riving knife accordingly and tighten
the hex bolts (A) securely. Attach the table insert on the
table, then check to see that the blade guard works
smoothly before cutting.
Installing and adjusting rip fence
Fig.25
Install the rip fence so that the fence holder engages
with the nearmost guide rail.
To secure the rip fence, pivot fully the lever on the fence
holder.
To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the
blade, secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm from the blade.
Raise the blade up to maximum elevation. Mark one of
the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance (A)
and (B) between the rip fence and blade. Take both
measurements using the tooth marked with the crayon.
These two measurements should be identical. If the rip
fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows:
Fig.26
Fig.27
1. Secure the rip fence by lowering the lever on it.
2. Loosen the two hex bolts on the rip fence with the
hex wrench provided.
3. Adjust the rip fence until it becomes parallel with
the blade.
4. Tighten the two hex bolts on the rip fence.
Fig.28
CAUTION:
Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it is parallel
•
with the blade, or a dangerous kickback condition
may occur.
Bring the rip fence up flush against the side of the blade.
Make sure that the guideline on the fence holder points
to the 0 graduation. If the guideline does not point to the
0 graduation, loosen the screw on the scale plate and
adjust the scale plate.

Cleaner operations can be performed by connecting the
tool to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust collector.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and
•
push blocks when there is a danger that your
hands or fingers will come close to the blade.
Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table and
•
the rip fence or miter gauge. Do not bend or twist it
while feeding. If the workpiece is bent or twisted,
dangerous kickbacks may occur.
NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade is
•
running. If you must withdraw the workpiece before
completing a cut, first switch the tool off while
holding the workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade
has come to a complete stop before withdrawing
the workpiece. Failure to do so may cause
dangerous kickbacks.
NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade is
•
running.
NEVER place your hands or fingers in the path of
•
the saw blade. Be especially careful with bevel
cuts.
Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous
•
kickbacks may occur.
Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks and
•
push blocks when cutting small or narrow
workpieces.
Work helpers
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of
"work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cuts
without the need for the operator to contact the blade
with any part of the body.
Push block
Fig.31
Use a 19 mm piece of plywood.
Handle should be in center of plywood piece. Fasten with
glue and wood screws as shown. Small piece 9.5 mm x 8
mm x 50 mm of wood must always be glued to plywood
to keep the blade from dulling if the operator cuts into
push block by mistake. (Never use nails in push block.)
Auxiliary fence
Fig.32
Make auxiliary fence from 9.5 mm and 19 mm plywood
pieces.
Ripping
CAUTION:
When ripping, remove the miter gauge from the
•
table.
When cutting long or large workpieces, always
•
provide adequate support behind the table. DO
NOT allow a long board to move or shift on the
table. This will cause the blade to bind and increase
the possibility of kickback and personal injury. The
support should be at the same height as the table.
1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the
thickness of the workpiece.
Fig.33
2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip
and lock in place by pivoting the grip.
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece
into the blade along with the rip fence.
(1) When the width of rip is 150 mm and wider,
carefully use your right hand to feed the
workpiece. Use your left hand to hold the
