Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner.
NOTICE:
Depending on the type of vacuum cleaner
and hose used, the dust collecting port may be
blocked by the dust collecting guard, making it impos-
sible to collect dust. In that case, weaken the suction
power of the vacuum cleaner.

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, con-
nect the dust bag to the dust nozzle.

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. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or
the workpiece.
WARNING:
raise the saw blade until it has come to a com-
plete stop. The raising of a coasting saw blade may
result in serious personal injury and damage to the
workpiece.
WARNING:
longer than the support base of the miter saw, the
material should be supported the entire length
beyond the support base and at the same height
to keep the material level. Proper workpiece support
will help avoid blade pinch and possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury. Do not
rely solely on the vertical vise to secure the work-
piece. Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possi-
ble KICKBACK.
