Slide the miter gauge into the thick grooves in the table.
Loosen the knob on the gauge and align to desired angle
(0° to 60°). Bring stock flush up against fence and feed
gently forward into the blade.
Auxiliary wood facing (miter gauge)
To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit the miter
gauge with an auxiliary fence board. Fasten with bolts/
nuts after drilling holes, but fasteners must not protrude
from the face board.

Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. To
replace the carbon brushes, remove the blade guard and
blade and then loosen the lock lever, tilt the saw head
and secure it at 45° bevel angle. Carefully lay the tool on
itself backward. Then loosen the brush holder cap.
Remove the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.
After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in
brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 min-
utes. Then check the tool while running and electric
brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If elec-
tric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita serv-
ice center for repair.
