Circular work
Circular work may be accomplished if you assemble the
straight guide and guide plate.
Min. and max. radius of circles to be cut (distance
between the centre of circle and the centre of bit) are as
follows:
Min.: 70 mm
Max.: 221 mm
Fig. 15 for cutting circles between 70 mm and
121 mm in radius.
Fig. 16 for cutting circles between 121 mm and
221 mm in radius.
NOTE:
• Circles between 172 mm and 186 mm in radius cannot
be cut using this guide.
Align the centre hole in the straight guide with the centre
of the circle to be cut. Drive a nail less than 6 mm in
diameter into the centre hole to secure the straight guide.
Pivot the tool around the nail in clockwise direction.

Trimmer guide (Fig. 18, 19 & 20)
Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for furniture and the
like can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The guide
roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut.
Attach the chip deflector on the groove of the base. Then
install the trimmer guide and guide holder on the tool
base with the clamping screw (A). Loosen the clamping
screw (B) and adjust the distance between the bit and
the trimmer guide by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm
per turn). At the desired distance, tighten the clamping
screw (B) to secure the trimmer guide in place.
When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding
the side of the workpiece.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 21 & 22)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

• Some items in the list may be included in the tool pack-
age as standard accessories. They may differ from
country to country.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN60745:
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
Wear ear protection
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN60745:
Work mode : rotation without load
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
• The declared vibration emission value has been mea-
sured in accordance with the standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the oper-
ator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the
actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
