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.
• Never depress the shaft lock while the saw is
running.
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock fully 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.

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.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner

When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install
the joint on the tool using the screws. Then connect a
hose of the vacuum cleaner to the joint as shown in the
figure.

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 kick-
back, possibly causing severe injury.
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 com-
pleted.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to prop-
erly 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
serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop
and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line,
and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which
exposes operator to chips and wood dust being ejected
from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
► Fig.17
CAUTION:
• The riving knife should always be used except
when plunging in the middle of the workpiece.
Rip fence (Guide rule)
► Fig.18
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the screw on the front of the base. It also
makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
Clean out the guard to ensure there is no
•
accumulated sawdust and chips which
may impede the operation of the guarding
system. A dirty guarding system may limit the
proper operation which could result in serious
personal injury. The most effective way to
accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air.
If the dust is being blown out of the guard,
be sure the proper eye and breathing protec-
tion is used.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
