10. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that is
marked on the tool or specified in the manual. Use
of an incorrectly sized blade may affect the proper
guarding of the blade or guard operation which could
result in serious personal injury.
11. Keep blade sharp and clean. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases
potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first
removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and
pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use
gasoline.
12. Wear a dust mask and hearing protection when
use the tool.
13. Always use the saw blade intended for cutting the
material that you are going to cut.
14. Only use the saw blades that are marked with a
speed equal or higher than the speed marked on
the tool.
15. (For European countries only)
Always use the blade which conforms to EN847-1.

WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained
from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety
rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to
follow the safety rules stated in this instruction
manual may cause serious personal injury.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever
securely. (Fig. 7)
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base
up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the base
by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than
one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper
cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
Bevel cutting (Fig. 8 & 9)
Loosen the clamping screws. Set for the desired angle
(0°- 45°) by tilting accordingly, then tighten the clamping
screws securely.
Sighting (Fig. 10)
For straight cuts, align the 0° position on the front of the
base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the
45° position with it.

Switch action
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
• Do not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing in
the lock-off button. This can cause switch breakage.
(Fig. 11)
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided.
To start the tool, depress the lock-off button and pull the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
WARNING:
• For your safety, this tool is equipped with a lock-off
button which prevents the tool from unintended
starting. NEVER use the tool if it runs when you simply
pull the switch trigger without pressing the lock-off
button. Return tool to a Makita service center for proper
repairs BEFORE further usage.
• NEVER tape down or defeat purpose and function of
lock-off button.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Removing or installing saw blade
CAUTION:
• Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing up at
the front of the tool.
• Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the
blade.
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the
blade cannot revolve and use the wrench to loosen the
hex bolt counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt,
outer flange and blade. (Fig. 12)
When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper and
lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such efforts
do not, however, replace the need to check lower guard
operation before each use. (Fig. 13)
For tool with the inner flange for other than 15.88 mm
hole-diameter saw blade (Fig. 14)
The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on one
side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the other
side. Choose a correct side on which protrusion fits into
the saw blade hole perfectly.
Next, mount the inner flange onto the mounting shaft so
that the correct side of protrusion on the inner flange
faces outward and then place saw blade and outer flange.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE
SECURELY.
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the protrusion "a" on the inner
flange that is positioned outside fits into the saw
blade hole "a" perfectly. Mounting the blade on the
wrong side can result in the dangerous vibration.
