10. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can occur.
KICKBACK occurs when the blade binds in the
workpiece during a cutting operation and the
saw blade is driven rapidly towards the operator.
Loss of control and serious personal injury can
result. If blade begins to bind during a cutting
operation, do not continue to cut and release
switch immediately.
11. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
12. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage.
13. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation. Use the
holes in the base to fasten the saw to a stable
work platform or bench. NEVER use tool where
operator positioning would be awkward.
14. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
15. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position.
16. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
17. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
18. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
19. Stop operation
anything abnormal.
20. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the "ON"
position.
21. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
22. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.

INSTALLATION
Bench mounting
When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the
lowered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper
pin by lowering the handle slightly and pulling the stopper
pin. (Fig. 1)
This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool's
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
(Fig. 2)

immediately if you
Turn the adjusting bolt clockwise or counterclockwise so
that it comes into a contact with the floor surface to keep
the tool stable. (Fig. 3)
Installing the holders and holder assemblies
(Fig. 4 & 5)
NOTE:
• In some countries, the holders and holder assemblies
may not be included in the tool package as standard
accessory.
The holders and the holder assemblies support
workpieces horizontally.
Tighten the fence shafts to the holder assemblies using
the hex wrench.
Install the holders and the holder assemblies on both
side as shown in the figure. When installing, make sure
that the fence shaft is in the same line of the guide fence
when installed to the tool.
Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the holders and
the holder assemblies.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Blade guard (Fig. 6 & 7)
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises
automatically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
notice
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE
BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES
TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular
operation of the blade guard should be corrected
immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return action
of guard. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE
GUARD OR SPRING ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR
REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no longer
easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard
carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any
petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, use the supplied hex wrench to
loosen the hex socket bolt holding the center cover.
Loosen the hex socket bolt by turning it counterclockwise
and raise the blade guard and center cover. With the
blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more
completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning
is complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt.
Do not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard
becomes discolored through age or UV light exposure,
contact a Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT
DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
Positioning kerf board (Fig. 8 & 9)
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base
to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The kerf
boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade does
not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf
boards as follows:
