6. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage.
7. Make sure that the turn base is properly
secured so it will not move during operation.
8. For your safety, remove the chips, small
pieces, etc. from the table top before opera-
tion.
9. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove
all nails from the workpiece before operation.
10. Make sure the shaft lock is released before
the switch is turned on.
11. Be sure that the blade does not contact the
turn base in the lowest position.
12. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up
and stopping.
13. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with the vise dur-
ing all operations. Never use your hand to
secure the workpiece.
14. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
15. Never reach around saw blade.
16. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
17. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
18. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
19. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
20. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the ON
position.
21. Shut off power and wait for saw blade to stop
before servicing or adjusting tool.
22. Be alert at all times, especially during repeti-
tive, monotonous operations. Don't be lulled
into a false sense of security. Blades are
extremely unforgiving.
23. Always use accessories recommended in
this manual. Use of improper accessories
such as abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
24. Don't abuse cord. Never yank cord to discon-
nect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.
25. Do not use the saw to cut other than alumi-
num, wood or similar materials.
26. Connect compound miter saws to a dust col-
lecting device when sawing.
27. Select saw blades in relation to the material
to be cut.
28. Take care when slotting.
29. Replace the kerf board when worn.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Carrying tool (Fig. 1)
When carrying the tool, lower the handle fully and
press the stopper pin to lock the handle in the low-
ered position. Secure the turn base by means of the
grip. The tool can then be conveniently carried by the
carrying grip.
WARNING:
• Be sure that the tool is unplugged first.
• Stopper pin is for carrying purposes only and not
for any cutting operations.
Installing auxiliary plate (Fig. 2 & 3)
Install the auxiliary plate using the notch in the tool's
base and secure it by tightening the hex bolt.
Bench mounting saw (Fig. 4)
This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level
and stable surface using the bolt holes provided in
the tool's base. This will help prevent tipping and pos-
sible injury.
Installing or removing saw blade
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to
loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover by turn-
ing it more than three turns counterclockwise. Raise
the safety cover and center cover. (Fig. 5)
Press the shaft lock so that the blade cannot revolve
and use the socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt
clockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange
and blade. (Fig. 6)
To install the blade, mount it onto the spindle, making
sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface of
the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the
blade case. (Fig. 7)
CAUTION:
• For all countries other than European countries
(Fig. 8)
The silver ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is factory-
installed onto the spindle. The black ring 25 mm in
outer diameter is included as standard equipment.
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always
be sure that the correct ring for the arbor hole of the
blade you intend to use is installed onto the spindle.
• For European countries (Fig. 8)
The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed
onto the spindle.
Install the flange and hex bolt, and then use the
socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt securely coun-
terclockwise while pressing the shaft lock. Then
tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the center
cover. (Fig. 9)
CAUTION:
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 an injury.
