Blade guard

Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-
matically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised.
WARNING:
Never defeat or remove the blade
guard or the spring which attaches to the guard.
An exposed blade as a result of defeated guarding
may result in serious personal injury during operation.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.
WARNING:
Never use the tool if the blade
guard or spring are damaged, faulty or removed.
Operation of the tool with a damaged, faulty or
removed guard may result in serious personal injury.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or saw-
dust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or
workpiece is no longer easily visible, remove the bat-
teries and clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth.
Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners
on the plastic guard because this may cause damage
to the guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, remove the batteries and use the
supplied wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the cen-
ter cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclock-
wise and raise the blade guard and center cover. With
the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more
completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning
is complete, reverse procedure above and secure the
bolt. Do not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard
becomes discolored through age or UV light exposure,
contact a Makita service center for a new guard. DO
NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.

Kerf boards
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn
base to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The
kerf boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade
does not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the
kerf boards as follows:

Kerf board
First, remove the batteries. Loosen all the screws (2
each on left and right) securing the kerf boards until the
kerf boards can still be easily moved by hand. Lower the
handle fully, then pull and turn the stopper pin to lock
the handle in the lowered position. Release the stopper
pin on the sliding pole and pull the carriage toward you
fully. Adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards just
contact the sides of the blade teeth. Tighten the front
screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the carriage toward
the guide fence fully and adjust the kerf boards so that
the kerf boards just contact the sides of blade teeth.
Tighten the rear screws (do not tighten firmly).
After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper
pin and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws
securely.
NOTICE:
After setting the bevel angle ensure
that the kerf boards are adjusted properly.
Correct
adjustment of the kerf boards will help provide proper
support of the workpiece minimizing workpiece tear
out.
Maintaining maximum cutting
capacity
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for a 260 mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower
limit position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as
follows:
First, remove the batteries. Turn the stopper lever to
engaged position.

Stopper lever
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
lower the handle completely.
Adjust the blade position by turning the adjusting bolt
with the hex wrench. The periphery of the blade should
come to the point where the front face of the guide
fence meets the top surface of the turn base and also it
should extend slightly below the top surface of the turn
base.

With the batteries removed, rotate the blade by hand
while holding the handle all the way down to be sure
that the blade does not contact any part of the lower
base. Re-adjust slightly, if necessary.
After adjustment, always return the stopper lever to the
original position.
