ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
The tool is shipped from the factory with the saw blade
and blade guard not in the installed condition. Assemble
as follows:
Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
• Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to install
or remove the blade. Failure to do so may result in
overtightening or insufficient tightening of the hex bolt.
This could cause an injury.
• Use the following saw blade. Do not use saw blades
which do not comply with the characteristics specified
in these instructions.
For Model Max. dia.
2704 260 mm
CAUTION:
• Check the arbor hole diameter of the blade before
installing the blade. Always use the correct ring for the
arbor hole of the blade you intend to use. (Fig. 19)
Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer
flange with the offset wrench and loosen the hex nut
counterclockwise with the wrench. Then remove the outer
flange.
Assemble the inner flange, ring, saw blade, outer flange
and hex nut onto the arbor, making sure that the teeth of
the blade are pointing down at the front of the table.
Always install the hex nut with its recessed side facing the
outer flange. (Fig. 20)
For all countries other than European countries
CAUTION:
• The silver ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is factory-
installed onto the spindle. The black ring 25 mm in
outer diameter is included as standard equipment.
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always be
sure that the correct ring for the arbor hole of the blade
you intend to use is installed onto the spindle.
For European countries
CAUTION:
• The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed
between the inner and outer flanges.

• Keep the flange surface clean of dirt or other adhering
matter; it could cause blade slippage. Be sure that the
blade is installed so that the teeth are aligned in the
cutting (turning) direction.
To secure the blade in place, hold the outer flange with the
offset wrench, then tighten the hex nut clockwise with the
wrench. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX NUT
SECURELY. (Fig. 21)
CAUTION:
• Be sure to hold the hex nut carefully with the wrench. If
your grip should slip, the wrench may come off the hex
nut, and your hand could strike the sharp blade edges.
Installing blade guard (Fig. 22 & 23)
CAUTION:
• Before installing the blade guard, adjust the depth of
cut to its maximum elevation.
For non- European type blade guard
Remove the center cover. Insert the riving knife into the
blade guard mounting portion (stay). Tighten the hex bolts
(A) with the provided wrench.
For European type blade guard (Fig. 24 & 25)
Remove the center cover. Insert the riving knife into the
blade guard mounting portion (stay). Tighten the hex bolts
(A) with the provided wrench.
Place the blade guard into the groove on the riving knife.
Secure the blade guard by pivoting the lever on the blade
guard.
For both European and non-European type blade
guards
The riving knife installing location is factory-adjusted so
Kerf
that the blade and riving knife will be in a straight line.
However, if they are not in a straight line, loosen the hex
bolts (B) and adjust the blade guard mounting portion
more
(stay) so that the riving knife is aligned directly behind the
blade. Then tighten the hex bolts (B) to secure the stay.
(Fig. 26)
CAUTION:
• If the blade and riving knife are not aligned properly, a
dangerous pinching condition may result during
operation. Make sure they are properly aligned. You
could suffer serious personal injury while using the tool
without a properly aligned riving knife.
• NEVER make any adjustments while tool is running.
Disconnect the tool before making any adjustments.
• Don't remove the riving knife.
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm between the
riving knife and the blade teeth. Loosen the hex bolts (A),
adjust the riving knife accordingly and tighten the hex
bolts (A) securely. Attach the table insert on the table, then
check to see that the blade guard works smoothly before
cutting. (Fig. 27)
Installing and adjusting rip fence (Fig. 28)
1) Fit the hook on the tip of the rip fence into the far guide
rail on the table or sub table (R) and install and push
the rip fence forward so that the fence holder engages
with the nearmost guide rail.
To slide the rip fence on the guide rail sideways, pivot
the knob on the fence holder to the half way of its
travel.
