FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Blade guard
► Fig.7: 1. Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automat-
ically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to its original
position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised.
NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE BLADE GUARD OR
THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES TO THE GUARD.
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. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE
BLADE GUARD OR SPRING ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR
REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or saw-
dust adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no lon-
ger easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard
carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any
petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through the
guard is impaired, 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. With the blade guard so positioned,
cleaning can be more completely and efficiently accom-
plished. When cleaning is complete, reverse procedure above
and secure bolt. Do not remove spring holding blade guard. If
guard becomes discolored through age or UV light exposure,
contact a Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT
DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.

4. Left bevel cut 5. Straight cut
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, unplug the tool. 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.
CAUTION:
• Before and after changing the bevel angle, always
adjust the kerf boards as described above.
Maintaining maximum cutting
capacity
► Fig.11: 1. Adjusting bolt 2. Turn base 3. Guide fence
► Fig.12: 1. Top surface of turn table 2. Periphery of
blade 3. Guide fence
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting
capacity for a 190 mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Push the carriage toward the
guide fence fully and lower the handle completely. Use
the hex wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periphery
of the blade extends slightly below the top surface of the
turn base at the point where the front face of the guide fence
meets the top surface of the turn base.
With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while
holding the handle all the way down to be sure that
the blade does not contact any part of the lower base.
Re-adjust slightly, if necessary.
WARNING:
• After installing a new blade, always be sure that
the blade does not contact any part of the lower
base when the handle is lowered completely.
Always do this with the tool unplugged.
Stopper arm
► Fig.13: 1. Adjusting screw 2. Stopper arm
The lower limit position of the blade can be easily adjusted
with the stopper arm. To adjust it, move the stopper arm in the
direction of the arrow as shown in the figure. Adjust the adjust-
ing screw so that the blade stops at the desired position when
lowering the handle fully.
Sub-fence
Country specific
WARNING:
flip the sub-fence outward. Otherwise, it may con-
tact the blade or a part of the tool, and may result in
serious injury to the operator.
► Fig.14: 1. Sub-fence
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence. Usually posi-
tion the sub-fence inside. However, when performing
left bevel cuts, flip it outward.
Adjusting the miter angle
► Fig.15: 1. Turn base 2. Lock lever 3. Miter scale
4. Pointer 5. Grip
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.
