your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the
tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the blade and
lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury.
Release switch, wait for blade to stop and then withdraw
tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again.
Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to
chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye
protection to help avoid injury.
Rip fence (Guide rule) (Fig. 26)
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against
the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with the
clamping lever on the front of the base. It also makes
repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Adjusting for accuracy of 0° and 45° cut
(vertical and 45° cut) (Fig. 27 & 28)
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, adjust the adjusting screws with a hex wrench while
inspecting 0° or 45° the blade with the base using a
triangular rule or square rule, etc.
Adjusting for parallelism (Fig. 29)
The parallelism between the blade and the base has been
factory adjusted. But if it is off, you can adjust it as the
following procedure.
Make sure all levers and screws are tightened. Slightly
loosen the screw as illustrated. While opening the lower
guard, move the rear of base so that the distance A and B
are equal. After adjusting, tighten the screw. Make a test
cut to get a correct parallelism.
Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 30)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace
when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon
brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon
brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps.
(Fig. 31)
After replacing brushes, insert the battery cartridge into
the tool and break in brushes by running tool with no load
for about 1 minute. Then check the tool while running and
electric brake operation when releasing the switch trigger.
If electric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita
service center for repair.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be
performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

package as standard accessories. They may differ from
country to country.
Noise
ENG905-1
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN62841:
Sound pressure level (L
pA
): 94 dB (A)
Sound power level (L
WA
): 105 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
ENG907-1
• The declared noise emission value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared noise emission value(s) may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• Wear ear protection.
• The noise emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared value(s)
depending on the ways in which the tool is used
especially what kind of workpiece is processed.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the
operator that are based on an estimation of
exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as
the times when the tool is switched off and when it
is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Vibration
ENG900-1
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN62841:
Work mode: cutting wood
Vibration emission (a
h,W
): 2.5 m/s
2
or less
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s 2
ENG901-2
• The declared vibration total value(s) has been
measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration total value(s) may also be used
in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared value(s)
