OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Socket wrench (Fig. 1)
The socket wrench is stored on the left side of the
tool base. When using the socket wrench, pull it out
of the wrench holder. After using the socket wrench,
return it to wrench holder.
Positioning the tool
When the tool is shipped from the factory, the handle
is locked in the lowered position. Release the handle
from the lowered position by lowering it slightly and
removing the chain from the hook on the handle.
(Fig. 2)
Bolt the tool with two bolts to a level and stable sur-
face using the bolt holes provided in the tool base.
This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.

Removing or installing saw blade
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before removing or installing the blade.
• When mounting the blade, make sure that the
direction of the arrow on the surface of the blade
matches the direction of the arrow on the blade
case.
• Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to
install or remove the blade. Failure to do so may
result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of
the hex bolt. This could cause serious injury to
operator or others in the general vicinity of the tool.
• Do not touch the blade immediately after operation;
it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
To remove the blade, loosen the hex bolt holding the
center cover with the socket wrench. Raise the safety
cover (safety guard) and center cover. (Fig. 4)
Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt by turning coun-
terclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange
and blade. (Fig. 5)
To install the blade, mount the inner flange, saw
blade, outer flange and hex bolt onto the spindle in
that order. Tighten the hex bolt by turning clockwise
while pressing the shaft lock. Return the safety cover
and center cover to the original position. Then tighten
the hex bolt clockwise to secure the center cover.
Lower the handle to make sure that the safety cover
moves properly. (Fig. 6)
Setting for desired cutting angle (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
Always tighten the hex bolt securely after changing
the cutting angle.
To change the cutting angle, loosen the lever. Move
the vise stop so that the indicator will point to the
desired graduation. Then tighten the lever to secure
the vise stop.
Securing workpieces
CAUTION:
Always set the vise nut to the right fully when secur-
ing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result in
insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could
cause the workpiece to be ejected or cause damage
to the blade.
By turning the vise handle counterclockwise and then
flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released
from the shaft threads and can be moved rapidly in
and out. To grip workpieces, push the vise handle
until the vise plate contacts the workpiece. Flip the
vise nut to the right and then turn the vise handle
clockwise to securely retain the workpiece. (Fig. 8)
Long workpieces must be supported by blocks of
non-flammable material on either side so that it will
be level with the base top. (Fig. 9)
When cutting angles or channels, secure angles as
shown in Fig. 10-1,
Fig. 10-2.
Switch action
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns
to the "OFF" position when released.
• When not using the tool, remove the lock-off button
and store it in a secure place. This prevents unau-
thorized operation.
For European countries (Fig. 11)
To prevent the trigger from being accidentally pulled,
a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, depress
the lever to release the handle from the fully elevated
position and to press in the lock-off button, and then
pull the trigger. Release the trigger to stop.
For all countries other than European
countries (Fig. 12)
To prevent the trigger from being accidentally pulled,
a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, press in
the lock-off button and pull the trigger. Release the
trigger to stop.
