Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel
angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle
is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be
performed at the angle shown in the table.
Miter angle
Left and right 45°
Right 52°
Left 52°
When performing compound cutting, refer to "Press
cutting", "Miter cutting" and "Bevel cut" explanations.
Cutting aluminum extrusion
► Fig.48: 1. Vise 2. Spacer block 3. Guide fence
4. Aluminum extrusion 5. Spacer block
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks or pieces
of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent deformation of the alumi-
num. Use a cutting lubricant when cutting the aluminum extrusion
to prevent build-up of the aluminum material on the blade.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to cut thick or round
aluminum extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions
may come loose during operation and round aluminum
extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 200 mm to 330 mm, use the set
plate (optional accessory). Install the set plate on the
holder (optional accessory) as shown in the figure.
► Fig.49: 1. Set plate 2. Holder 3. Screw
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the left or
right side of the groove in the kerf board, and while holding
the workpiece, move the set plate flush against the end of the
workpiece. Then secure the set plate with the screw.
When the set plate is not used, loosen the screw and
turn the set plate out of the way.
Carrying tool
WARNING:
Stopper pin is only for carrying and
storage purposes and should never be used for any
cutting operations. The use of the stopper pin for cutting
operations may cause unexpected movement of the saw
blade resulting in kickback and serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Always secure all moving portions
before carrying the tool. If portions of the tool move
while being carried loss of control or balance may
occur resulting in personal injury.
1. Remove the battery cartridge.
2. Secure the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn
base at the full right miter angle position.
► Fig.50: 1. Turn base
3. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
4. Carry the tool by holding the handle.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Always be sure that the blade is
sharp and clean for the best and safest perfor-
mance. Attempting a cut with a dull and /or dirty blade
may cause kickback and result in a serious personal
injury.
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
Miter angle
1. Loosen the fixing screw counterclockwise.
2. Rotate the turn base until the pointer indicates 0°
on the miter scale.

4. Pointer
3.
Rotate the turn base slightly clockwise and coun-
terclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter notch.
(Leave as it is if the pointer does not indicate 0°.)
4. Loosen the hex socket bolts securing the guide
fence using the hex wrench.
► Fig.53: 1. Guide fence 2. Hex socket bolt
► Fig.54: 1. Guide fence 2. Hex socket bolt
5.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
6. Adjust the guide fence until it makes a perpendic-
ular angle with the blade using a triangular rule, try-
square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex socket bolt
on the guide fence.

7. Make sure that the pointer indicates 0° on the
miter scale. If the pointer does not indicate 0°, loosen
the screw which secures the pointer and adjust the
pointer so that it indicates 0°.
