Bevel cutting (Fig. 2)
Loosen two clamping screws on the bevel plates on the
front and back of the base. Set for the desired angle (0° –
45°) by tilting accordingly, then tighten the clamping
screws securely.
Sighting (Fig. 3)
For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the
base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the B
position with it.
Switch action (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
For tool with lock button
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and push
in the lock button and then release the switch trigger.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
For tool with lock-off button
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
push in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
For tool without lock button and lock-off button
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Removing or installing saw blade (Fig. 5 & 6)
CAUTION:
• Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing up at
the front of the tool.
• Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the
blade.
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the
blade cannot revolve and use the hex wrench to loosen
the hex bolt counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt,
outer flange and blade.
For tool with the inner flange for a 15.88 mm hole-
diameter saw blade (Fig. 7)
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing out-
ward onto the mounting shaft and then place saw blade,
outer flange and hex bolt.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE
SECURELY.
For tool with the inner flange for a other than
15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade (Fig. 8)
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.
Next, 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.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE
SECURELY.
CAUTION:
• 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.
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 9)
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
OPERATION (Fig. 10)
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.
Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly hold
the tool by both the front grip and rear handle during
operations. The tool is provided with both a front grip and
rear handle. 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 flat 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 properly fol-
low 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 a 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) (Accessory) (Fig. 11)
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 position with
the screw 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 inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 12 & 13)
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.
