WARNING:

 

BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX 

BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be careful 

not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand 

from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.

WARNING:

 

If the ring is needed to mount the 

blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the cor-

rect 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 move-

ment and severe vibration resulting in possible loss of 

control during operation and in serious personal injury.

Blade guard cleaning

When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to 

also clean the upper and lower blade guards of accu-

mulated sawdust as discussed in the Maintenance 

section. Such efforts do not replace the need to check 

lower guard operation before each use.

Connecting a vacuum cleaner

When you wish to perform clean cutting operation, 

connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Connect 

a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle as 

shown in the figure.
