For tool with the inner flange for
other than 15.88 mm hole-diameter
saw blade
The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on
one side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the
other side. Choose a correct side on which protrusion
fits into the saw blade hole perfectly. Mount the inner
flange onto the mounting shaft so that the correct side
of protrusion on the inner flange faces outward and then
place saw blade and outer flange.

WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be careful
not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand
from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
Make sure that the protrusion "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.
For tool with the inner flange for a
15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
(country specific)
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing
outward onto the mounting shaft and then place circu-
lar saw blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer
flange and hex bolt.

WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be careful
not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand
from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
If the ring is needed to mount the
blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the
correct ring for the blade's arbor hole you intend
to use is installed between the inner and the outer
flanges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole ring may
result in the improper mounting of the blade causing
blade movement and severe vibration resulting in
possible loss of control during operation and in seri-
ous personal injury.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the upper and lower guards of accumulated
metal chips as discussed in the section for mainte-
nance. Such efforts do not replace the need to check
lower guard operation before each use.
OPERATION
This tool is intended to cut mild steel only.
Refer to our website or contact your local Makita dealer
for the correct circular saw blades to be used for the
material to be cut.
CAUTION:
Always wear eye protection or
goggle before 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
kickback, possibly causing severe injury.
CAUTION:
Never twist or force the tool in
the cut. This may cause motor overload and/or a
dangerous kickback, resulting in serious injury to the
operator.
CAUTION:
Always use the circular saw blades
appropriate for your job. The use of inappropriate
circular saw blades may cause a poor cutting perfor-
mance and/or present a risk of personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not use a deformed or cracked
circular saw blade. Replace it with a new one.
Checking blade guard function
Remove the battery cartridge and the dust case.
Retract the lower guard manually to the end and
release it. The lower guard is properly functioning if;
— it is retracted above the base without any hin-
drance and;
— it automatically returns and contacts with the
stopper.

If the lower guard is not functioning properly, check if
metal chips are accumulated inside of the upper and
lower guards. If the lower guard is not functioning prop-
erly even after removing metal chips, have your tool
serviced at a Makita service center.
► Fig.20
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 the tool, they cannot be cut by
the circular saw blade. Set the base on the workpiece
to be cut without the circular saw blade making any
contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the circular
saw blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool
forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your cutting line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to
properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt
to turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so
may bind the circular saw blade and lead to dangerous
kickback and possible serious injury. Release switch,
wait for the circular saw 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 particles being ejected from the tool. Use eye
protection to help avoid injury.
