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 move-
ment and severe vibration resulting in possible loss
of control during operation and in serious personal
injury.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation, con-
nect a Makita vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle using
a front cuff 24 (optional accessory).

Dust bag
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, remove
the dust extraction hose from the tool and connect the
dust bag.

Dust bag
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty
the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to
remove particles adhering to the insides which might
hamper further collection.

Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise or crown molding stoppers.
Failure to
do so may result in serious personal injury and cause
damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
WARNING:
After a cutting operation, do
not raise the saw blade until it has come to a
complete stop.
The raising of a coasting blade may
result in serious personal injury and damage to the
workpiece.
WARNING:
When cutting a workpiece that
is longer than the support base of the saw, the
material should be supported the entire length
beyond the support base and at the same height
to keep the material level.
Proper workpiece support
will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury. Do not
rely solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise
to secure the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag.
Support workpiece over its entire length to avoid
blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.

Guide fences
WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make
sure that the upper fence is secured firmly.
WARNING:
Before bevel-cutting, make sure
that no part of the tool, especially the saw blade,
contacts the upper and lower fences when fully
lowering and raising the handle in any position
and while moving the carriage through its full
range of travel.
If the tool or blade makes contact
with the fence, this may result in kickback or unex-
pected movement of the material and serious per-
sonal injury.
Use upper fences to support the material higher than
the lower fences. Insert the upper fence into the hole on
the lower fence and tighten the clamping screw.

NOTICE:
The lower fences are fixed to the base
in the factory. Do not remove the lower fences.
NOTICE:
If the upper fence is still loose after
tightening the clamping screw, turn the adjusting
screw to close a gap.
The adjusting screw is factory
adjusted. You don't need to use it unless needed.
When not using the upper fence, you can store it onto
the pipe of the sub base. Use the clip on the upper
fence to hold it on the pipe of the sub base.

WARNING:
The workpiece must be secured
firmly against the turn base and guide fence with
the vise during all operations.
If the workpiece is
not properly secured against the fence, the material
may move during the cutting operation causing pos-
sible damage to the saw blade, causing the material
to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
The vertical vise can be installed into either the left or
right side of the base and sub base. Insert the vise rod
into the hole in the base or sub base.

Vise knob
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the clamping screw contacts the
carriage, install the vertical vise to the sub base or the
opposite side on the base. Make sure that no part of the
tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle all the
way. If some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
NOTE:
For a quick setting of workpiece, turning the
vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the vise
knob to be moved up and down. To secure the work-
piece after setting, turn the vise knob clockwise.
