CAUTION:
The speed adjusting dial is not
for using low speed rated saw blades but for
obtaining a speed which is suitable to material of
workpiece. Use only saw blades which are rated
for at least the maximum no load speed stated in
the SPECIFICATIONS.
NOTICE:
The speed adjusting dial can be turned
only as far as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past
5 or 1, or the speed adjusting function may no
longer work.
Electronic function
The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under load condition.
Soft start feature
Soft start because of suppressed starting shock.
Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly stop the circular saw
blade after switch lever release, have tool serviced at a
Makita service center.
CAUTION:
The blade brake system is not a
substitute for blade guard. NEVER USE TOOL
WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING BLADE GUARD.
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.

WARNING:
If the inner flange is removed, be
sure to install it on the spindle. When installing,
choose a correct side on which protrusion fits
into the saw blade hole perfectly.
Mounting the
blade on the wrong side can result in the dangerous
vibration.
To install the circular saw blade, follow the removal
procedure in reverse. Depress the lock-off button to
release the lock pin from the hole.
WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT SECURELY. Also be careful not to tighten
the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand from the hex
wrench can cause a personal injury.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the blade guard of accumulated sawdust as
discussed in the Maintenance section. Such efforts do
not replace the need to check guard operation before
each use.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
Optional accessory
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 using
the front cuff 24.

Adjusting angle of dust nozzle
The angle of the dust nozzle can be adjusted by rotating
the dust nozzle.
When operating the tool without connecting a vacuum
cleaner, bring the dust nozzle downward to prevent the
operator from being exposed to sawdust.
When operating the tool with connecting a vacuum
cleaner, bring the dust nozzle upward to keep the hose
of the vacuum cleaner from getting caught in the work-
piece or the guide rail.
