Adjusting positive stops
The tool is equipped with positive stops at 90° and 45° to
the table surface. To check and adjust the positive stops,
proceed as follows: (Fig. 8)
Move the handwheel as far as possible by turning it. Place
a triangular rule on the table and check to see if the blade
is at 90° or 45° to the table surface. If the blade is at an
angle shown in Fig. A, turn the adjusting screws clock-
wise; if it is at an angle shown in Fig. B, turn the adjusting
screws counterclockwise to adjust the positive stops. (Fig.
9)
After adjusting the positive stops, set the blade at 90° to
the table surface. Then adjust the arrow pointer so that its
right edge is aligned to the 0° graduation. (Fig. 10)

Sub table (R)
This tool is provided with the sub table (R) on the right
side of the main table. To use the sub table (R), raise both
levers on the front right side, pull out the table (R) fully and
then lower the levers to secure it. (Fig. 14 & 15)
When using the sub table (R), locate the scale plate on
the sub table after loosening the screw on it with a screw-
driver so that it becomes successive with the scale plate
on the main table. (Fig. 16)
Sub table (back) (Fig. 17)
To use the sub table (back), loosen the screw on the left
hand side under the table and pull it out backwards to the
desired length. At the desired length, tighten the screw
securely.
NOTE:
• When using the sub table (back) during use of the rip
fence, pull out the sub table (back) more than 50 mm
so that it does not hit against the top end of the rip
fence.
Sub table (L) (optional accessory)
(Fig. 18)
Sub table (L) (optional accessory) can be installed on the

as follows:
Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
• Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to install
or remove the blade. Failure to do so may result in
overtightening or insufficient tightening of the hex bolt.
This could cause an injury.
• 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.
2704 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.
Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer
flange with the offset wrench and loosen the hex nut coun-
terclockwise with the wrench. Then remove the outer
flange. (Fig. 19)
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. (Fig. 20)
For all countries other than European countries
CAUTION:
• The silver ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is factory-
installed onto the spindle. The black ring 25 mm in
outer diameter is included as standard equipment.
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always be
sure that the correct ring for the arbor hole of the blade
you intend to use is 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. 21)
