• Use the following saw blade. Do not use saw blades
which do not comply with the characteristics specified
in these instructions.
For Model Max. dia.
MLT100 260 mm
CAUTION:
• Check the arbor hole diameter of the blade before
installing the blade. Always use the correct ring for the
arbor hole of the blade you intend to use. (Fig. 17)
Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer
flange with the wrench and loosen the hex nut
counterclockwise with the wrench. Then remove the outer
flange. (Fig. 18)
Assemble the inner flange, ring, saw blade, outer flange
and hex nut onto the arbor, making sure that the teeth of
the blade are pointing down at the front of the table.
Always install the hex nut with its recessed side facing the
outer flange.
For all countries other than European countries
CAUTION:
• The ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed
onto the spindle.
For European countries
CAUTION:
• The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed
between the inner and outer flanges.
• Keep the flange surface clean of dirt or other adhering
matter; it could cause blade slippage. Be sure that the
blade is installed so that the teeth are aligned in the
cutting (turning) direction.
To secure the blade in place, hold the outer flange with
the offset wrench, then tighten the hex nut clockwise with
the wrench. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX NUT
SECURELY. (Fig. 19)
CAUTION:
• Be sure to hold the hex nut carefully with the wrench. If
your grip should slip, the wrench may come off the hex
nut, and your hand could strike the sharp blade edges.
Installing blade guard (Fig. 20 & 21)
CAUTION:
• Before installing the blade guard, adjust the depth of
cut to its maximum elevation.
For non-European type blade guard
Remove the center cover. Insert the riving knife into the
blade guard mounting portion (stay). Tighten the hex bolts
(A) with the provided wrench.
For European type blade guard (Fig. 22 & 23)
Remove the center cover. Insert the riving knife into the
blade guard mounting portion (stay). Tighten the hex bolts
(A) with the provided wrench.
Place the blade guard into the groove on the riving knife.
Secure the blade guard by pivoting the lever on the blade
guard.

For both European and non-European type blade
guards
The riving knife installing location is factory-adjusted so
that the blade and riving knife will be in a straight line.
However, if they are not in a straight line, loosen the hex
Kerf
bolts (B) and adjust the blade guard mounting portion
(stay) so that the riving knife is aligned directly behind the
more
blade. Then tighten the hex bolts (B) to secure the stay.
(Fig. 24)
CAUTION:
• If the blade and riving knife are not aligned properly, a
dangerous pinching condition may result during
operation. Make sure they are properly aligned. You
could suffer serious personal injury while using the tool
without a properly aligned riving knife.
• NEVER make any adjustments while tool is running.
Disconnect the tool before making any adjustments.
• Don't remove the riving knife. (Fig. 25)
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm between the
riving knife and the blade teeth. Loosen the hex bolts (A)
and adjust the riving knife accordingly and tighten the hex
bolts (A) securely. Attach the table insert on the table,
then check to see that the blade guard works smoothly
before cutting.
Installing and adjusting rip fence (Fig. 26)
Install the rip fence so that the fence holder engages with
the nearmost guide rail.
To secure the rip fence, pivot fully the lever on the fence
holder.
To check to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the
blade, secure the rip fence 2 -3 mm from the blade.
Raise the blade up to maximum elevation. Mark one of
the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance (A)
and (B) between the rip fence and blade. Take both
measurements using the tooth marked with the crayon.
These two measurements should be identical. If the rip
fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows:
(Fig. 27 & 28)
1. Secure the rip fence by lowering the lever on it.
2. Loosen the two hex bolts on the rip fence with the hex
wrench provided.
3. Adjust the rip fence until it becomes parallel with the
blade.
4. Tighten the two hex bolts on the rip fence. (Fig. 29)
CAUTION:
• Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it is parallel with
the blade, or a dangerous kickback condition may
occur.
Bring the rip fence up flush against the side of the blade.
Make sure that the guideline on the fence holder points to
the 0 graduation. If the guideline does not point to the
0 graduation, loosen the screw on the scale plate and
adjust the scale plate. (Fig. 30)
Connecting to vacuum cleaner (Fig. 31)
Cleaner operations can be performed by connecting the
tool to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust collector.
