WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be
careful not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your
hand from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
If the ring is needed to mount the
circular saw 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 circular saw blade causing blade
movement and severe vibration resulting in possible loss of
control during operation and in serious personal injury.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to also clean
the upper and lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust as
discussed in the Maintenance section. Such efforts do not replace
the need to check lower guard operation before each use.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
Optional accessory
NOTE:
To prevent the rubber cap from being lost,
store it on the front of the tool.
NOTE:
When not using the vacuum cleaner, attach
the rubber cap onto the dust nozzle.
Remove the rubber cap from the dust nozzle and con-
nect the vacuum cleaner's hose.

If the lower guard is not functioning properly, check if
saw dust is accumulated inside of the upper and lower
guards. If the lower guard is not functioning properly
even after removing dust, have your tool serviced at a
Makita service center.
