the handle is lowered completely. Always do this with
the tool unplugged.
Adjusting the miter angle (Fig. 11)
Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the turn
base while pressing down the lock lever. When you have
moved the grip to the position where the pointer points to
the desired angle on the miter scale, securely tighten the
grip clockwise.
CAUTION:
• When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the handle
fully.
• After changing the miter angle, always secure the turn
base by tightening the grip firmly.
Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. 12 & 13)
To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the knob at the rear of
the tool counterclockwise.
Push the handle to the left to tilt the saw blade until the
pointer points to the desired angle on the bevel scale.
Then tighten the knob clockwise firmly to secure the arm.
CAUTION:
• When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the handle
fully.
• After changing the bevel angle, always secure the arm
by tightening the knob clockwise.
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.
For European countries (Fig. 14)
To start the tool, push the lever to the right and then pull
the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
For all countries other than European countries
(Fig. 15)
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the
switch trigger to stop.
WARNING:
• NEVER use tool without a fully operative switch trigger.
Any tool with an inoperative switch is HIGHLY
DANGEROUS and must be repaired before further
usage.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
• Use only the Makita 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.
When removing or installing the blade, keep the handle in
the raised position. (Fig. 16)
To remove the blade, use the wrench to loosen the hex
bolt holding the center cover by turning it
counterclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center
cover. (Fig. 17)
Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the
wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then remove the
hex bolt, outer flange and blade. (Fig. 18)
To install the blade, mount it carefully 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. Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then
use the wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)
securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.
(Fig. 19 & 20)
CAUTION:
• The ring 25.4 mm or 30 mm in outer diameter is
factory-installed onto the spindle. 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.
Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the
wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed) securely
counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the
center cover. Lower the handle to make sure that the
blade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft lock has
released spindle before making cut.
Sub-fence (for European countries only)
(Fig. 21)
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence. Usually position
the sub-fence inside. However, when performing left bevel
cuts, flip it outward.
CAUTION:
• When performing left bevel cuts, flip the sub-fence
outward. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a part of
the tool, causing possible serious injury to the operator.
Dust bag (Fig. 22 & 23)
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto
the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag
of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles
adhering to the insides which might hamper further
collection.
NOTE:
If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw, more
efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to
do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or the
workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY
ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO
