Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base up or down.
At the desired depth of cut, secure the base by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

Bevel cutting
CAUTION:
After adjusting the bevel angle,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever and set for the desired angle by tilting
accordingly, then tighten the lever securely.
► Fig.13: 1. Lever
Positive stopper
The positive stopper is useful for setting the des-
ignated angle quickly. Turn the positive stopper so
that the arrow on it points your desired bevel angle
(22.5°/45°/53°). Loosen the lever and then tilt the tool
base until it stops. The position where the tool base
stops is the angle you set with the positive stopper.
Tighten the lever with the tool base at this position.

Sighting
For straight cuts, align the 0° position on the front of the base with
your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the 45° position with it.

Switch action
WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when you
simply pull the switch trigger without pressing the lock-off
button. A switch in need of repair may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury. Return tool to a Makita
service center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
depress the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.

NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard without
pressing in the lock-off button. This can cause switch breakage.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.
Removing or installing circular saw
blade
CAUTION:
Be sure the circular saw blade is
installed with teeth pointing up at the front of the
tool.
CAUTION:
Use only the Makita wrench to
install or remove the circular saw blade.
To remove the circular saw blade, press the shaft lock
fully so that the circular saw blade cannot revolve and
use the wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then
remove the hex bolt, ring (country specific), outer flange
and circular saw blade.

To install the circular saw blade, follow the removal
procedure in reverse.
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:
BOLT COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also
be careful not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping
your hand from the hex wrench can cause a per-
sonal injury.
WARNING:
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.
