For tool with the inner flange for
other than 20 mm or 15.88 mm hole-
diameter saw blade

The inner flange has a certain diameter of a blade
mounting part on one side of it and a different diameter
of blade mounting part on the other side. Choose a
correct side on which blade mounting part fits into the
saw blade hole perfectly.

6. Blade mounting part
CAUTION:
Make sure that the blade mounting
part "a" on the inner flange that is positioned
outside fits into the saw blade hole "a" perfectly.
Mounting the blade on the wrong side can result in
the dangerous vibration.
Returning the blade guard
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex socket bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover. Release the handle from the
raised position by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the
handle to make sure that the blade guard moves prop-
erly. Make sure shaft lock has released spindle before
making cut.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner.

Dust bag (optional accessory)
► Fig.34: 1. Dust bag 2. Dust nozzle 3. Fastener
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.
Dust box (Optional accessory)
► Fig.35: 1. Dust box 2. Cover 3. Button
Insert the dust box into the dust nozzle.
Empty the dust box at the earliest possible.
To empty the dust box, open the cover by pushing the
button and throw away sawdust. Return the cover to
the original position and it locks. Dust box can easily
be removed by pulling out while turning it near the dust
nozzle on the tool.
CAUTION:
• Empty the dust box before collected sawdust
level reaches the cylinder part.

Securing workpiece
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the work-
piece 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 NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a
complete stop.
CAUTION:
• When cutting long workpieces, use supports
that are as high as the top surface level of the
turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise
and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

► Fig.39: 1. Vise arm 2. Vise rod 3. Guide fence
4. Holder 5. Holder assembly 6. Vise knob
7. Screw
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the
holder assembly. Insert the vise rod into the hole in
the guide fence or the holder assembly and tighten the
screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the oppo-
site side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
► Fig.40: 1. Vise knob 2. Projection 3. Vise shaft
4. Base
The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of
the base. By turning the vise knob counterclockwise,
the screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved
rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise,
the screw remains secured. To grip the workpiece,
turn the vise knob gently clockwise until the projection
reaches its topmost position, then fasten securely.
If the vise knob is forced in or pulled out while being
turned clockwise, the projection may stop at an angle.
In this case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise
until the screw is released, before turning again gently
clockwise.
