Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
After adjusting the depth of cut,
always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base
up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the base
by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for danger-
ous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.

Bevel cutting
CAUTION:
After adjusting the bevel angle,
always tighten the clamping screws securely.
Loosen the front and rear clamping screws. Set for
the desired angle (0° - 45°) by tilting accordingly, then
tighten the front and rear clamping screws securely.

Sighting
For straight cuts, align the 0° position on the front of the
base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the
45° position with it.

Switch action
WARNING:
Before plugging in the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actu-
ates properly and returns to the "OFF" position
when released.
► Fig.12: 1. Switch trigger 2. Lock-off button
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
press the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when
you simply pull the switch trigger without press-
ing the lock-off button. A switch in need of repair
may result in unintentional operation and serious
personal injury. Return tool to a Makita service center
for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard
without pressing in the lock-off button. This can
cause switch breakage.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Removing or installing circular saw
blade
CAUTION:
Be sure the circular saw blade is
installed with teeth pointing up at the front of the
tool.
CAUTION:
Use only the Makita wrench to
install or remove the circular saw blade.
1. To remove the circular saw blade, press the shaft
lock fully so that the circular saw blade cannot revolve
and use the hex wrench to loosen the hex bolt counter-
clockwise.

2. Remove the hex bolt and outer flange.
3. Turn the lever to open the blade guard.

To install the circular saw blade, follow the removal
procedure in reverse.
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.
