Cleaning
► Fig.11: 1. Blade guard
If the transparent blade guard becomes dirty, or saw-
dust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or
workpiece is no longer easily visible, remove the battery
cartridge and clean the guard carefully with a damp
cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based
cleaners on the plastic guard because this may cause
damage to the guard.
For cleaning, raise the blade guard by referring to
"Installing or removing saw blade".
After cleaning, make sure to return the blade and center
cover and tighten the hex socket bolt.
1. Make sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridges are removed.
2.
Turn the hex socket bolt counterclockwise using
the supplied hex wrench with holding the center cover.
3. Raise the blade guard and center cover.
4. When cleaning is complete, return the center
cover and tighten the hex socket bolt by performing the
steps above in reverse.
WARNING:
Do not remove spring holding
blade guard. If guard becomes damaged in course
of time or UV light exposure, contact a Makita ser-
vice center for replacement. DO NOT DEFEAT OR
REMOVE GUARD.
Positioning kerf board
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:
1. Make sure to remove the battery cartridge. Then,
loosen all the screws (2 each on left and right) securing
the kerf boards.

2. Re-tighten them only to the extent that the kerf
boards can still be easily moved by hand.
3. Lower the handle fully and push in the stopper pin
to lock the handle in the lowered position.
4. Adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards just
contact the sides of the blade teeth.

5. Tighten the screws (do not tighten firmly).
6. After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stop-
per pin and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws
securely.
NOTICE:
After setting the bevel angle ensure
that the kerf boards are adjusted properly. Correct
adjustment of the kerf boards helps to provide proper
support of the workpiece and minimizing workpiece
tear out.
Maintaining maximum cutting
capacity
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 165 mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower
limit position of the blade, and if necessary, adjust it as
follows:
1.
Remove the battery cartridge. Lower the handle
completely.
2. Use the hex wrench to turn the lower limit adjust-
ing bolt until the saw blade comes slightly below the
cross section of the guide fence and the top surface of
the turn base.

► Fig.16: 1. Guide fence
3. Rotate the blade by hand while holding the handle
all the way down to be sure that the blade does not
contact any part of the lower base. Re-adjust slightly, if
necessary.
WARNING:
with the battery cartridge removed, always be
sure that the blade does not contact any part of
the lower base when the handle is lowered com-
pletely. If a blade makes contact with the base, it may
cause kickback and result in serious personal injury.

Sub-fence
Country specific
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence and small
sub-fences.
Sub-fence
WARNING:
performing bevel cuts. Failure to do so may cause
serious injury.
► Fig.18: 1. Sub-fence
When performing cuts except for bevel cuts, use the
sub-fence to support the workpiece.
Small sub-fence
CAUTION:
When performing right bevel cuts,
fold the small sub-fences. Otherwise, they may
contact the blade or a part of the tool, and may result
in serious injury to the operator.
► Fig.19: 1. Small sub-fence 2. Scale
When performing vertical cut or left bevel cut, flip them
upward to support the workpiece. The guide fence has
a scale of 10 mm interval.
