WARNING:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
CAUTION:
Use only the Makita hex wrench provided to install
•
or remove the blade. Failure to do so may result in
overtightening or insufficient tightening of the hex
socket bolt. This could cause an injury.
Lock the handle in the raised position by pushing in the
stopper pin.
To remove the blade, use the hex wrench to loosen the
hex socket bolt holding the center cover by turning it
counterclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center
cover.

Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex socket bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover. Release the handle from the

Dust bag (optional accessory)

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
particles adhering to the insides which might hamper
further collection.
NOTE:
If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw,
more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
