Theinnerange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
tsintothesawbladeholeperfectly.
Next,mounttheinnerangeontothemountingshaft
sothatthecorrectsideofprotrusionontheinnerange
facesoutwardandthenplacesawbladeandouterange.
BESURETOTIGHTENTHEHEXBOLTCLOCKWISE
SECURELY.
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the protrusion "a" on the
inner ange that is positioned outside
ts into the saw blade hole "a" perfectly.
Mountingthebladeonthewrongsidecanresult
inthedangerousvibration.

Whenchangingblade,makesuretoalsocleanupper
andlowerbladeguardsofaccumulatedsawdust.Such
efforts do not, however, replace the need to check lower
guardoperationbeforeeachuse.
Hex wrench storage
►Fig.18: 1. Hex wrench
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
guretokeepitfrombeinglost.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
►Fig.19: 1. Dust nozzle 2. Screw
►Fig.20: 1. Vacuum cleaner 2. Hose
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install
the dust nozzle on the tool using the screw. Then con-
nect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle as
showninthegure.
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 kick-
back,possiblycausingsevereinjury.
• Always use a front grip and rear handle and
rmlyholdthetoolbybothfrontgripandrear
handle during operations.
Holdthetoolrmly.Thetoolisprovidedwithbothafront
gripandrearhandle.Usebothtobestgraspthetool.If
bothhandsareholdingsaw,theycannotbecutbythe
blade.Setthebaseontheworkpiecetobecutwithout
theblademakinganycontact.Thenturnthetoolonand
waituntilthebladeattainsfullspeed.Nowsimplymove
thetoolforwardovertheworkpiecesurface,keepingitat
and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to prop-
erly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn
orforcethetoolbacktothecutline.Doingsomaybind
thebladeandleadtodangerouskickbackandpossible
seriousinjury.Releaseswitch,waitfor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wooddustbeingejected
fromsaw.Useeyeprotectiontohelpavoidinjury.

Rip fence (Guide rule)
►Fig.22: 1. Clamp lever 2.Ripfence(Guiderule)
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in posi-
tionwiththeclampleveronthefrontofthebase.Italso
makesrepeatedcutsofuniformwidthpossible.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Alwaysbesurethatthetoolisswitchedoffand
unpluggedbeforeattemptingtoperforminspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Clean out the guard to ensure there is no
accumulated sawdust and chips which
may impede the operation of the guarding
system. A dirty guarding system may limit the
proper operation which could result in serious
personalinjury.Themosteffectivewayto
accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air.
If the dust is being blown out of the guard,
be sure the proper eye and breathing protec-
tion is used.
• Neverusegasoline,benzine,thinner,alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
Adjusting for accuracy of 0° and 45°
cut (vertical and 45° cut)
►Fig.23: 1.Adjustingscrewfor0°2.Adjustingscrew
for 45°
►Fig.24: 1. Triangular rule
Thisadjustmenthasbeenmadeatthefactory.Butifitis
off,adjusttheadjustingscrewswithahexwrenchwhile
inspecting0°or45°thebladewiththebaseusinga
triangular rule or square rule, etc.
Adjusting for parallelism
►Fig.25: 1. Base 2. Screw 3.Sawblade
Theparallelismbetweenthebladeandthebasehas
beenfactoryadjusted.Butifitisoff,youcanadjustitas
the following procedure.
Make sure all levers and screws are tightened. Slightly
loosen the screw as illustrated. While opening the lower
guard,movetherearofbasesothatthedistanceAand
Bareequal.Afteradjusting,tightenthescrew.Makea
test cut to get a correct parallelism.
