For European countries
• The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed
onto the spindle. The ring 25 mm in outer diameter is
included as standard equipment. Before mounting the
blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the correct
ring for the arbor hole of the blade you intend to use is
installed onto the spindle.
Install the flange and hex bolt, and then use the socket
wrench to tighten the hex bolt securely counterclockwise
while pressing the shaft lock.
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure
the center cover. Lower the handle to make sure that the
blade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft lock has
released spindle before making cut.
(Fig. 22)
Dust bag (Fig. 23)
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto
the dust nozzle.
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 par-
ticles adhering to the insides which might hamper further
collection.
NOTE:
• If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this tool,
more efficient and cleaner operations can be per-
formed.
Securing workpiece (Fig. 24)
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the work-
piece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to do so
can cause the tool to be damaged and/or the work-
piece to be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY
ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO
NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a com-
plete stop.
CAUTION:
• When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are
as high as the top surface level of the turn base. 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 KICK-
BACK.
Sub-fence (Fig. 25 & 26)
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence. It should be
positioned as shown in
Fig. 25 .
CAUTION:
• When performing left bevel cuts, flip the fence over to
the left position as shown in Fig. 26 . Otherwise, it will
contact the blade or a part of the tool, causing possible
serious injury to the operator.
1. Vertical vise (Fig. 27)
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the holder
assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise rod into
the hole in the guide fence or the holder assembly and
tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tight-
ening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm con-
tacts the guide fence, install the screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool con-
tacts 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.
CAUTION:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence with the vise during all opera-
tions.
2. Horizontal vise (optional accessory) (Fig. 28)
The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left or
right side of the base. When performing 15° or greater
miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side opposite
the direction in which the turn table is to be turned. By
turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw is
released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in and
out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw
remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise
knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches its top-
most position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob is
forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the
projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the
vise knob back counterclockwise until the screw is
released, before turning again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 130 mm.
CAUTION:
• Grip the workpiece only when the projection is at the
topmost position. Failure to do so may result in insuffi-
cient securing of the workpiece. This could cause the
workpiece to be thrown, cause damage to the blade or
cause the loss of control, which can result in PER-
SONAL INJURY.
3. Holders and holder assembly
(optional accessories) (Fig. 29)
The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on
either side as a convenient means of supporting work-
pieces horizontally. Install them as shown in
Fig. 29 .
Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the holders and
the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.
(Fig. 30)
CAUTION:
• Always support long workpieces level with the top sur-
face of the turn base for accurate cuts and to prevent
dangerous loss of control of the tool.
