FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on
the tool.
Adjusting depth of cut
Fig.1
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
•
lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base
up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the base
by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
Bevel cutting
Fig.2
Fig.3
Setting bevel angle
Loosen the clamping nuts in front and back, and tilt the
tool to the desired angle for bevel cuts ( 0°- 45°). Secure
the clamping screws tightly in front and back after
marking the adjustment.
Sighting
Fig.4
For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the
base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the B
position with it.
Switch action
Fig.5
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
•
that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns
to the "OFF" position when released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
push in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Hex wrench storage
Fig.6
Hex wrench is stored on the tool. To remove hex wrench,
rotate it toward yourself and pull it out.
To install hex wrench, place it on the handle and turn it
until it comes into contact with the protrusion on the
handle.
Removing or installing saw blade
Fig.7
CAUTION:
Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing up
•
at the front of the tool.
Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the
•
blade.
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the
blade cannot revolve and use the hex wrench to loosen
the hex bolt counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt,
outer flange and blade.
To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in
reverse. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT
CLOCKWISE SECURELY.
Fig.8
When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper
and lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such
efforts do not, however, replace the need to check lower
guard operation before each use.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
•
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
Fig.9
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without
the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and
wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move
the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it
flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is
completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly
follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or
force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the
blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible
