Blade guard
For all countries other than European countries
Fig.6
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises
automatically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised.
WARNING:
Never defeat or remove the blade guard or the
•
spring which attaches to the guard. An exposed
blade as a result of defeated guarding may result
in serious personal injury during operation.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular
operation of the blade guard should be corrected
immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return
action of guard.
WARNING:
Never use the tool if the blade guard or spring
•
are damaged, faulty or removed. Operation of
the tool with a damaged, faulty or removed guard
may result in serious personal injury.
For European countries
Fig.7
When lowering the handle, the blade guard A rises
automatically. The blade guard B rises as it contacts a
workpiece. The guards are spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised.
WARNING:
Never defeat or remove the blade guard or the
•
spring which attaches to the guard. An exposed
blade as a result of defeated guarding may result
in serious personal injury during operation.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
each blade guard in good condition. Any irregular
operation of the blade guards should be corrected
immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return
action of guards.
WARNING:
Never use the tool if the blade guard or spring
•
are damaged, faulty or removed. Operation of
the tool with a damaged, faulty or removed guard
may result in serious personal injury.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or
sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade
and/or workpiece is no longer easily visible, remove the
battery cartridge and clean the guard carefully with a
damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based
cleaners on the plastic guard because this may cause
damage to the guard.
If the blade guard becomes dirty and needs to be
cleaned for proper operation follow the steps below:
With the tool switched off and the battery cartridge
removed, use the supplied hex wrench to loosen the hex
socket bolt holding the center cover. Loosen the hex
socket bolt by turning it counterclockwise and raise the
blade guard and center cover.
Fig.8
With the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be
more completely and efficiently accomplished. When
cleaning is complete reverse procedure above and
secure bolt. Do not remove spring holding blade guard.
If guard becomes damaged through age or UV light
exposure, contact a Makita service center for a new
guard. DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
Positioning kerf board
Fig.9
Fig.10
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base
to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The kerf
boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade does
not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf
boards as follows:
First, remove the battery cartridge. Loosen all the
screws (2 each on left and right) securing the kerf
boards. Re-tighten them only to the extent that the kerf
boards can still be easily moved by hand. Lower the
handle fully and push in the stopper pin to lock the
handle in the lowered position. Loosen two clamp
screws which secure the slide poles. Pull the carriage
toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf
boards just contact the sides of the blade teeth. Tighten
the front screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and adjust the kerf boards
so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of blade
teeth. Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten firmly).
After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin
and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws
securely.
NOTICE:
After setting the bevel angle ensure that the
•
kerf boards are adjusted properly. Correct
adjustment of the kerf boards will help provide
proper support of the workpiece minimizing
workpiece tear out.
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
Fig.11
Fig.12
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 190 mm saw blade.
Remove the battery cartridge before any adjustment is
attempted. When installing a new blade, always check
the lower limit position of the blade and if necessary,
adjust it as follows:
First, remove the battery cartridge. Push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle
completely. Use the hex wrench to turn the adjusting bolt
