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 vacuum cleaner to your saw, cleaner
operations can be performed.
Dust box (Optional accessory)
Fig.30
Insert the dust box into the dust nozzle.
Empty the dust box when necessary.
To empty the dust box, open the cover by pushing the
button and dispose of the sawdust. Return the cover to
the original position and lock it in place. Dust box can
easily be removed by pulling it out while turning it near
the dust nozzle on the tool.
NOTE:
If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this tool,
•
cleaner operations can be performed.
NOTICE:
Empty the dust box before collected sawdust level
•
reaches the cylinder section.

Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
•
workpiece correctly with the proper type of
vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so
may result in serious personal injury and cause
damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
•
until it has come to a complete stop. The raising
of a coasting blade may result in serious personal
injury and damage to the workpiece.
When cutting a workpiece that is longer than
•
the support base of the saw, the material
should be supported the entire length beyond
the support base and at the same height to
keep the material level. Proper workpiece support
will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury. 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.

Guide fence (SLIDING FENCES which are
upper and lower fences) adjustment
WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make sure that the upper
•
and lower fences are secured firmly.
Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of
•
the tool, especially the blade, contacts the
upper and lower fences when fully lowering
and raising the handle in any position and
while moving the carriage through its full range
of travel. If the tool or blade makes contact with
the fence this may result in kickback or unexpected
movement of the material and serious personal
injury.
Fig.34
The lower fences can be moved inward and outward by
loosening the clamping screws.
Fig.35
A red indicating area will appear as the lower fences are
moved inward and will disappear as the lower fences are
moved outward.
The upper fences can be removed or moved inward and
outward by loosening the levers.
Fig.36
In case of bevel-cutting, adjust the lower and upper
fence positions to be as close to the blade as practical to
provide maximum workpiece support, and make sure
that no part of the tool, especially the blade, contacts the
lower and upper fences when lowering and raising the
handle fully at any position and pulling or pushing the
carriage all the way at the lowest position.
Before cutting operations, make a dry run with the saw
turned off and unplugged, then check clearance
between fences and moving parts.
Before cutting operations, firmly secure lower fences by
tightening the clamping screws and upper fences by
tightening the levers.
When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't
forget to return the upper fences to the original position
and return it.
Vertical vise
Fig.37
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise rod
into the hole in the base.
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 carriage, install the screw on the opposite
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.
Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the
vise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating the
quick setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece after
setting, turn the vise knob clockwise.
