For tool with lock button
CAUTION:
Switch can be locked in "ON" posi-
tion for ease of operator comfort during extended
use. Apply caution when locking tool in "ON"
position and maintain firm grasp on tool.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation,
pull the switch trigger, push in the lock button and then
release the switch trigger. To stop the tool from the
locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.
For tool with lock-off button
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when
you simply pull the switch trigger without press-
ing the lock-off button. A switch in need of repair
may result in unintentional operation and serious
personal injury. Return tool to a Makita service center
for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
press the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard
without pressing in the lock-off button. This can
cause switch breakage.
Interval between vise and guide
plate
CAUTION:
After adjusting the interval
between the vise and the guide plate, make
sure that the guide plate is properly secured.
Insufficient fixing may result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
Remember that narrow workpieces
may not be secured safely when using the two,
wider interval settings.
The following interval settings of the vise are available:
• 0 - 170 mm (0" - 6-11/16") (original setting)
• 35 - 205 mm (1-3/8" - 8-1/16")
• 70 - 240 mm (2-3/4" - 9-7/16")
If your work requires different setting, proceed as fol-
lows to change the spacing or interval.
Remove the two hex socket bolts using a hex wrench.
Move the guide plate to the desired position and secure
it with the hex socket bolts.

Cutting angle adjustment
CAUTION:
After adjusting the angle of the
guide plate, make sure that the guide plate is
properly secured. Insufficient fixing may result in
personal injury.
CAUTION:
When performing right miter cut
with the tool with the stopper plate, always set
the guide plate at 0 - 170 mm (0" - 6-11/16") posi-
tion. Setting at the 35 - 205 mm (1-3/8" - 8-1/16")
or 70 - 240 mm (2-3/4" - 9-7/16") position hinders
the movement of stopper plate, which results in a
failure cut.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the tool when
the material is not firmly secured with the vise
because of the cutting angle.
Loosen the two hex socket bolts using a hex wrench.
Turn the guide plate to the desired angle and secure it
with the hex socket bolts. Be careful not to move the set
angle while securing the hex socket bolts.

NOTE: The scale on the guide plate is only a rough
indication. For more accurate angle, use a protractor
or triangle ruler. Keep the handle down so that the
cut-off wheel extends into the base. At the same time,
adjust the angle between the guide plate and the cut-
off wheel with a protractor or triangle ruler.
Spark guard adjustment
The spark guard is factory-installed with its lower edge
contacting the base. Operating the tool in this position
will cause many sparks to fly around. Loosen the screw
and adjust the spark guard to a position at which mini-
mum sparks will fly around.
The type of the spark guard differs from country to
country.
