For tool with the inner flange for a
15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
(country specific)
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing
outward onto the mounting shaft and then place circu-
lar saw blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer
flange and hex bolt.

WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be careful
not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand
from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
If the ring is needed to mount the
blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the
correct ring for the blade's arbor hole you intend
to use is installed between the inner and the outer
flanges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole ring may
result in the improper mounting of the blade causing
blade movement and severe vibration resulting in
possible loss of control during operation and in seri-
ous personal injury.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the upper and lower blade guards of accu-
mulated sawdust as discussed in the Maintenance
section. Such efforts do not replace the need to check
lower guard operation before each use.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Connect
a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle as
shown in the figure.

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
kickback, possibly causing severe injury.
NOTE: When the battery cartridge temperature is
low, the tool may not work to its full capacity. At this
time, for example, use the tool for a light-duty cut for
a while until the battery cartridge warms up as high
as room temperature. Then, the tool can work to its
full capacity.
► Fig.30
Hold the tool firmly. 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 circular saw blade.
Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the circular
saw blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait
until the circular saw 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 follow your
intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool back
to the cut line. Doing so may bind the circular saw blade and
lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release
switch, wait for circular saw 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)
Optional accessory
► Fig.31: 1. Rip fence (Guide rule) 2. Clamping screw
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 clamping screw on the front of the base. It
also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
Lanyard (tether strap) connection
Safety warnings specific for use at height
Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in serious injury.
Always keep the tool tethered when working "at
1.
height". Maximum lanyard length is 2 m (6.5 ft).
2. Use only with lanyards appropriate for this tool
type and rated for at least 4.0 kg (8.8 lbs).
3. Do not anchor the tool lanyard to anything on
your body or on movable components. Anchor
the tool lanyard to a rigid structure that can
withstand the forces of a dropped tool.
4. Make sure the lanyard is properly secured at
each end prior to use.
5. Inspect the tool and lanyard before each use
for damage and proper function (including
fabric and stitching). Do not use if damaged or
not functioning properly.
6. Do not wrap lanyards around or allow them to
come in contact with sharp or rough edges.
7. Fasten the other end of the lanyard outside
the working area so that a falling tool is held
securely.
8. Attach the lanyard so that the tool will move
away from the operator if it falls. Dropped tools
will swing on the lanyard, which could cause injury
or loss of balance.
9. Do not use near moving parts or running
machinery. Failure to do so may result in a crush
or entanglement hazard.
10. Do not carry the tool by the attachment device
or the lanyard.
11. Only transfer the tool between your hands
while you are properly balanced.
