Anti-splintering device (Fig. 6)
To reduce the potential for workpiece surface splin-
tering, the anti-splintering device can be used. Fit it
into the base from below so that it surrounds the sides
of the blade.
Plastic base plate (optional accessory)
(Fig. 7)
Use the plastic base plate when cutting decorative
veneers, plastics, etc. It protects sensitive or delicate
surfaces from damage. To replace the base plate,
remove the four screws.
Guide rule (rip fence; optional accessory)
(Fig. 8)
When cutting widths of under 150 mm repeatedly, use
of the guide rule will assure fast, clean, straight cuts.
To install it, loosen the bolt on the front of the base.
Slip in the guide rule and secure the bolt.
Circular guide (optional accessory) (Fig. 9)
Use of the circular guide insures clean, smooth
cutting of circles (radius: under 200 mm). Insert the
pin through the center hole and secure it with the
threaded knob. Move the base of the tool forward
fully. Then install the circular guide on the base in the
same manner as the guide rule.
Vacuum head (optional accessory)
(Fig. 10 & 11)
The vacuum head is recommended to perform clean
cutting operations. Install the plastic cover on the tool
by fitting it into the notches in the tool.
To attach the vacuum head on the tool, insert the hook
of the vacuum head into the hole in the base. The
vacuum head can be installed on either left or right
side of the base. Then connect a Makita vacuum
cleaner to the vacuum head.
