Unplug the tool.
2. Draw a cutting line on the workpiece and place it
on the turn base. At this time, do not secure the work-
piece with a vise or similar securing device.
3. Lower the handle and align the cutting line with
the saw blade.

6.
Loosen the adjusting screw. To move the laser line
away from the blade, turn the range adjustment screws
counterclockwise. To move the laser line close to the

brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If
the electric brake is not working correctly, have the tool
repaired by a Makita service center.
