WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT 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 inner flange is removed,
be sure to install it on the spindle. When install-
ing, choose a correct side on which protrusion
fits into the circular saw blade hole perfectly.
Mounting the circular saw blade on the wrong side
can result in the dangerous vibration.
For tool with the inner flange for
other than 15.88 mm hole-diameter
saw blade
The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on
one side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the
other side. Choose a correct side on which protrusion
fits into the saw blade hole perfectly. Mount the inner
flange onto the mounting shaft so that the correct side
of protrusion on the inner flange faces outward and then
place saw blade and outer flange.

WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be careful
not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand
from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
Make sure that the protrusion "a"
on the inner flange that is positioned outside fits
into the saw blade hole "a" perfectly. Mounting the
blade on the wrong side can result in the dangerous
vibration.
For tool with the inner flange for a
15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
(country specific)
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing
outward onto the mounting shaft and then place circu-
lar saw blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer
flange and hex bolt.

WARNING:
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 blade causing
blade movement and severe vibration resulting in
possible loss of control during operation and in seri-
ous personal injury.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the upper and lower guards of accumulated
metal chips as discussed in the section for mainte-
nance. Such efforts do not replace the need to check
lower guard operation before each use.
OPERATION
This tool is intended to cut mild steel only.
Refer to our website or contact your local Makita dealer
for the correct circular saw blades to be used for the
material to be cut.
CAUTION:
Always wear eye protection or
goggle before operation.
CAUTION:
Be sure to move the tool forward
in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool
will result in overheating the motor and dangerous
kickback, possibly causing severe injury.
CAUTION:
Never twist or force the tool in
the cut. This may cause motor overload and/or a
dangerous kickback, resulting in serious injury to the
operator.
CAUTION:
Always use the circular saw blades
appropriate for your job. The use of inappropriate
circular saw blades may cause a poor cutting perfor-
mance and/or present a risk of personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not use a deformed or cracked
circular saw blade. Replace it with a new one.
Checking blade guard function
Remove the battery cartridge and the dust case.
Retract the lower guard manually to the end and
release it. The lower guard is properly functioning if;
— it is retracted above the base without any hin-
drance and;
— it automatically returns and contacts with the
stopper.
