31 ENGLISH
The horizontal vise can be installed in either the left or
right side of the base. When performing 22.5° or greater
miter cuts, install the horizontal vise in the side opposed
to the direction in which the turn base is to be turned.

By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is
released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the work-
piece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate con-
tacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut clockwise. Then
turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.
NOTE:
The maximum width of workpiece which can
be secured by the horizontal vise is 228 mm.
Sub base
WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece
so it is level with the top surface of the turn base
for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss
of tool control.
Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Before the cutting operation,
always be sure that the sub bases are secured by
the screws.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, sub bases are
provided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the screws
and extend the sub bases to the appropriate length for
holding the workpiece. Then tighten the screws.

OPERATION
This tool is intended to cut wood products. With appro-
priate Makita genuine saw blades, following materials
can also be sawed :
— Aluminum products
Refer to our website or contact your local Makita dealer
for the correct circular saw blades to be used for the
material to be cut.
WARNING:
Make sure the saw blade is not con-
tacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned
on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the
workpiece may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
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:
Do not perform any adjustment
such as turning grip, knob, and levers on the tool
while the saw blade is rotating.
Adjustment while the
blade is rotating may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not release the saw head uncon-
trolled from the fully down position.
Uncontrolled
saw head may hit you and it will result in personal injury.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stopper
pin and release the handle from the lowered position.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the han-
dle when cutting.
Too much force may result in overload of
the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Press down
handle with only as much force as necessary for smooth
cutting and without significant decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut.
If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the blade may vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage
toward the guide fence without stopping.
If the carriage
movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in
the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
Press cutting
WARNING:
Always lock the sliding movement
of the carriage when performing a press cutting.
Cutting without lock may cause possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury.
Workpieces up to 92 mm high and 183 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.

Push the carriage toward the guide fence until it
stops and lock it with the stopper pin.
2.
Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3.
Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed before lowering.
4.
Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion to cut the workpiece.
5.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and
wait until the circular saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop
before returning the circular saw blade to its
fully elevated position.
Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide
workpieces)
WARNING:
Whenever performing a slide cut,
first pull the carriage full towards you and press
the handle all the way down, then push the car-
riage toward the guide fence. Never start the cut
with the carriage not pulled fully toward you.
If
you perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you, unexpected kickback may occur and
serious personal injury may result.
WARNING:
Never attempt to perform a slide
cut by pulling the carriage towards you.
Pulling
the carriage towards you while cutting may cause
unexpected kickback resulting in possible serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Never perform the slide cut with
the handle locked in the lowered position.
