Make sure that the battery cartridge is removed.
Secure the blade at 0° bevel angle and the turn base

MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
work on the tool.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the
factory, but rough handling may have affected the
alignment. If your tool is not aligned properly, perform
the following:
1) Miter angle
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn
the turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the
miter scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clock-
wise and counterclockwise to seat the turn base
cozily in the 0° miter notch. (Leave as it is if the
pointer does not point to 0°.) Loosen the four hex
bolts securing the guide fence using the socket
wrench. (Fig. 31)
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the lock pin. Square the
side of the blade with the face of the guide fence
using a triangular rule, try square, etc. Then
securely tighten the hex bolts on the guide fence
in the order from right side. (Fig. 32)
Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. If the pointer does not point to 0°, loosen
the screw which secures the pointer and adjust
the pointer so that it will point to 0°. (Fig. 33)
2) Bevel angle
i) 0° bevel angle
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the low-
ered position by pushing in the lock pin.
Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool. Turn
the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt (lower bolt)
on the right side of the arm two or three revo-
lutions counterclockwise to tilt the blade to the
right. (Fig. 34)
Carefully sqaure the side of the blade with the
top surface of the turn base using the triangu-
lar rule, try square, etc. by turning the 0°
bevel angle adjusting bolt clockwise. Then
tighten the lever securely. (Fig. 35)
Make sure that the pointer on the sub arm
points to 0° on the bevel scale on the arm. If
it does not point to 0°, loosen the screw
which secures the pointer and adjust the
pointer so that it will point to 0°. (Fig. 36)
ii) 45° bevel angle
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after perform-
ing 0° bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left
45° bevel angle, loosen the lever and tilt the
blade 45° to the left. Make sure that the
pointer on the sub arm points to 45° on the
bevel scale on the arm. If the pointer does
not point to 45°, turn the 45° bevel angle
adjusting bolt (upper bolt) on the right side of
the arm until the pointer points to 45°.

Replacement of carbon brushes
(Fig. 37 & 38)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the
holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at
the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new
ones and secure the brush holder caps.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs,
maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by
Makita Authorized Service Center.
