CAUTION:
Make sure to install the circular
saw blade so that the direction of the arrow on the
blade matches that on the blade case. Failure to do
so may result in personal injury and cause damage to
the tool and/or the workpiece.
To install the circular saw blade, perform the following
steps:
1. Mount the circular saw blade carefully onto the
inner flange. Make sure that the direction of the arrow
on the circular saw blade matches the direction of the
arrow on the blade case.

saw blade
2. Install the outer flange and hex socket bolt, and
then use the hex wrench to tighten the hex socket bolt
counterclockwise securely while pressing the shaft lock.

3. Return the blade guard and center cover to its
original position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover.
4.
Pull and turn the stopper pin in an unlocked posi-
tion to release the carriage from the raised position.
Lower the carriage and check that the blade guard
moves properly.
CAUTION:
Make sure shaft lock has released
spindle before making cut.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation, con-
nect a Makita vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle (upper
dust port) using a front cuff 24 (optional accessory).

Dust bag
CAUTION:
When performing a cutting, always
attach the dust bag or connect a vacuum cleaner
to prevent dust-related hazards.
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, remove
the dust extraction hose from the tool and connect the
dust bag to the dust nozzle (upper dust port).

nozzle (upper dust port)
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.

Securing workpiece
WARNING:
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to
do so may result in serious personal injury and cause
damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
WARNING:
is longer than the support base of the miter saw,
support the entire length of the material beyond
the support base keeping the material level.
Proper workpiece support helps to avoid blade pinch
and possible kickback which may result in serious
personal injury. Do not rely solely on the vertical
vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over
its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible
KICKBACK.

Guide fences
WARNING:
sure that the upper fence is secured firmly.
WARNING:
that no part of the tool, especially the saw blade,
contacts the upper and lower fences when fully
lowering and raising the handle in any position
and while moving the carriage through its full
range of travel. If the tool or blade makes contact
with the fence, this may result in kickback or unex-
pected movement of the material and serious per-
sonal injury.
Use upper fences to support the material higher than
the lower fences. Insert the upper fence into the hole on
the lower fence and tighten the clamping screw.

NOTICE:
The lower fences are fixed to the base
in the factory. Do not remove the lower fences.
NOTICE:
If the upper fence is still loose after
tightening the clamping screw, turn the adjusting
screw to close a gap. The adjusting screw is factory
adjusted. You don't need to use it unless needed.
When not using the upper fence, you can store it onto
the pipe of the sub base. Use the clip on the upper
fence to hold it on the pipe of the sub base.

Vertical vise
WARNING:
firmly against the turn base and guide fence with
the vise during all operations. If the workpiece is
not properly secured against the fence, the material
may move during the cutting operation causing pos-
sible damage to the saw blade, causing the material
to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
The vertical vise can be installed into either the left or
