Bevel cutting (Fig. 12 & 13)
Loosen the front lever and rear wing nut. Set for the
desired angle (0° - 50°) by tilting accordingly, then tighten
the lever and wing nut securely. (Fig. 14)
Use the 45° stopper when you do precise 45° angle
cutting. Turn the stopper clockwise fully for bevel cut (0° -
45°) and turn it counterclockwise for 0° - 50° bevel cuts.
Sighting (Fig. 15)
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. The position of the top guide is
adjustable.
Switch action (Fig. 16)
CAUTION:
• Before installing the battery cartridge into 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 the
lock-off lever. This can cause switch breakage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, press
the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger. Release the
switch trigger to stop.
WARNING:
• For your safety, this tool is equipped with lock-off lever
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 lever. Return
tool to a MAKITA service center for proper repairs
BEFORE further usage.
• NEVER tape down or defeat purpose and function of
lock-off lever.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
work 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. (Fig. 17)
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.
For tool with the inner flange for other than 15.88 mm
hole-diameter saw blade (Fig. 18)
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.
(Fig. 19)
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.
For tool with the inner flange for a 15.88 mm hole-
diameter saw blade (country specific) (Fig. 20 & 21)
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing
outward onto the mounting shaft and then place saw
blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer flange and
hex bolt.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE
SECURELY.
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.
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 22)
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the
figure to keep it from being lost.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
Optional accessory (Fig. 23 & 24)
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install the
dust nozzle on the tool using the screw. Then connect a
hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle as shown
in the figure.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
• Always use a front grip and rear handle and firmly hold
the tool by both front grip and rear handle during
operations. (Fig. 25)
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the
blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait
until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move the
tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat
and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your
speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow
