ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to
•
install or remove the blade. Failure to do so may
result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of
the hex bolt. This could cause an injury.
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen
the hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it
counterclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center
cover.
Fig.13
Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt counterclockwise.
Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange and blade.

Fig.15
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface
of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the
blade case. Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then
use the socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt securely
clockwise while pressing the shaft lock.

Fig.17
CAUTION:
The inner flange has a 25 mm diameter on one side
•
and a 25.4 mm diameter on the other. The side with
25.4 mm diameter is marked by "25.4". Use the
correct side for the hole diameter of the blade you
intend to use. Mounting the blade on the wrong side
can result in dangerous vibration.
Slip the pin on the blade guard into the slot in the guide
arm while returning the blade guard to its original fully
closed position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover. Lower the handle to make sure
that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft
lock has released spindle before making cut.

Dust bag
Fig.19
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.
NOTE:
If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw,
more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
•
workpiece 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.

Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
Fig.21
The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left or
right side of the base. When performing 15° or greater
miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side opposite
