the flange is installed incorrectly the flange will rub
against the machine.
WARNING:
• Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always
be sure that the correct ring for the blade's arbor
hole you intend to use is installed between the
inner and the outer flanges. Use of the incorrect
arbor hole ring may result in the improper mounting of
the blade causing blade movement and severe
vibration resulting in possible loss of control during
operation and in serious personal injury. (Fig. 27)
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface
of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the
blade case.
Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the
socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)
securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.
(Fig. 28 & 29)
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the
center cover. Release the handle from the raised position
by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the handle to make sure
that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure the shaft
lock has released spindle before making cut.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner.(Fig. 30)
Dust bag (Fig. 31)
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations cleaner
and dust collection easier. To attach the dust bag, fit it
onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag
of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles
adhering to the insides which might hamper further
collection.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece correctly with the proper type of vise or
crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so may result
in serious personal injury and cause damage to the tool
and/or the workpiece.
• After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
until it has come to a complete stop. The raising of a
coasting blade may result in serious personal injury
and damage to the workpiece.
• When cutting a workpiece that is longer than the
support base of the saw, the material should be
supported the entire length beyond the support
base and at the same height to keep the material
level. Proper workpiece support will help avoid blade
pinch and possible kickback which may result in
serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on the
vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the
workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support
workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch
and possible KICKBACK. (Fig. 32)
Guide fence (SLIDING FENCES)
adjustment (Fig. 33)
WARNING:
• Before operating the tool, make sure that the sliding
fence is secured firmly.
• Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of the
tool, especially the blade, contacts the sliding
fence. when fully lowering and raising the handle in
any position and while moving the carriage
through its full range of travel. If the blade makes
contact the sliding fence may result in kickback or
unexpected movement of the material and serious
personal injury. (Fig. 34)
CAUTION:
• When performing bevel cuts, slide the sliding fence to
the left and secure it as shown in the figure. Otherwise,
it will contact the blade or a part of the tool, causing
possible serious injury to the operator.
This tool is equipped with the sliding fence which should
ordinarily be positioned as shown in the figure.
However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the left
position as shown in the figure if the tool head contacts it.
When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't forget
to return the sliding fence to the original position and
secure it by firmly tightening the clamping screw.
Vertical vise (Fig. 35)
The vertical vise can be installed on either the left or right
side of the guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in
the guide fence and tighten the screw on the back of the
guide fence to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
WARNING:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations. If the workpiece is not properly secured
against the fence the material may move during the
cutting operation causing possible damage to the
blade, causing the material to be thrown and loss of
control resulting in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when
cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the
motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down
handle with only as much force as is necessary for
smooth cutting and without significant decrease in
blade speed.
