By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is
released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the
workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise
plate contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut clock
-
wise. 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.

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 holders are secured by
the screws.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, holders are pro-
vided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the screws and
extend the holders to the appropriate length for holding
the workpiece. Then tighten the screws.

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 a sub base is secured by the
screw.
NOTE:
For details on installation, follow the instruc-
tions provided with an optional sub base.
Install an optional sub base in the base to hold long
workpieces more securely. Loosen the screw and
extend the sub base to the appropriate length for hold-
ing the workpiece. Then tighten the screw.

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
contacting 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.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stop-
per pin and release the handle from the lowered
position.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the
handle when cutting.
Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting effi
-
ciency. 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.
