CAUTION:
• When performing left bevel cuts, flip the sub-fence out-
ward. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a part of the
tool, causing possible serious injury to the operator.
Adjusting the miter angle (Fig. 15)
Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the
turn base while pressing down the lock lever. When you
have moved the grip to the position where the pointer
points to the desired angle on the miter scale, securely
tighten the grip clockwise.
CAUTION:
• After changing the miter angle, always secure the turn
base by tightening the grip firmly.
NOTICE:
• When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the handle
fully.
Adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. 16 & 17)
To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of
the tool counterclockwise.
Push the handle to the left to tilt the saw blade until the
pointer points to the desired angle on the bevel scale.
Then tighten the lever clockwise firmly to secure the arm.
To tilt the blade to the right, push the release button at
the rear of the tool while tilting the blade slightly to the left
after loosening the lever. With the release button
depressed, tilt the saw blade to the right.
CAUTION:
• After changing the bevel angle, always secure the arm
by tightening the lever clockwise.
NOTICE:
• When tilting the saw blade be sure the handle is fully
raised.
• When changing bevel angles, be sure to position the
kerf boards appropriately as explained in the "Position-
ing kerf board" section.
Adjusting the lever position (Fig. 18)
The lever can be repositioned at every angle 30° when
the lever does not provide full tightening.
Loosen and remove the screw that secures the lever at
the rear of the tool. Remove the lever and install it again
so that it is slightly above the level. Secure the lever with
the screw firmly.
Switch action
For European countries (Fig. 19)
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
push the lever up, press in the lock-off button and then
pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
WARNING:
• Before installing the battery cartridge on 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 with-
out pressing in the lock-off button. This can cause
switch breakage. Operating a tool with a switch that
does not actuate properly can lead to loss of control
and serious personal injury.
A hole is provided in the switch trigger for insertion of
padlock to lock the tool off.
For all countries other than European countries
(Fig. 20)
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
WARNING:
• Before installing the battery cartridge on 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 with-
out pressing in the lock-off button. This can cause
switch breakage. Operating a tool with a switch that
does not actuate properly can lead to loss of control
and serious personal injury.
A hole is provided in the switch trigger for insertion of a
padlock to lock the tool off.
WARNING:
• Do not use a lock with a shank or cable any smaller
than 6.35 mm (1/4") in diameter. A smaller shank or
cable may not properly lock the tool in the off position
and unintentional operation may occur resulting in seri-
ous personal injury.
• NEVER use tool without a fully operative switch
trigger. Any tool with an inoperative switch is HIGHLY
DANGEROUS and must be repaired before further
usage or serious personal injury may occur.
• For your safety, this tool is equipped with a lock-off but-
ton 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. A
switch in need of repair may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury. Return tool to a
Makita service center for proper repairs BEFORE fur-
ther usage.
• NEVER defeat the lock-off button by taping down or
some other means. A switch with a defeated lock-off
button may result in unintentional operation and serious
personal injury.
ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before working on the
tool. Failure to switch off and remove the battery car-
tridge may result in serious personal injury.

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before installing or
removing the blade. Accidental start up of the tool
may result in serious personal injury.

remove the blade. Failure to do so may result in over-
tightening or insufficient tightening of the hex socket
bolt. This could cause an injury.
