2.KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3.REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
4.KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5.DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Don’t use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
6.KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
7.MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
8.DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9.USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
10.WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11.ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12.SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
13.DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
16.REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position before plugging in.
17.USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
18.NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
19.CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20.DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
21.NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
22.REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
23.POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user – as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
14.MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to and clean for best and safest performance.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
USB036-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to slide compound saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1.Wear eye protection.
2.Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting blade. It can still cause severe injury.
12.Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades slows saw and increases potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never use gasoline to clean blade.
13.While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade binds in the workpiece during a cutting operation and the saw blade is driven back rapidly towards the operator. Loss of control and serious personal injury can result. If blade begins to bind during a cutting operation, do not continue to cut and release switch immediately.
3.Do not operate saw without guards in place. 14. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
Check blade guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the open position.
4.Do not perform any operation freehand. The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base and guide fence with a vise during all operations. Never use your hand to secure the workpiece.
5.Never reach around saw blade.
6.Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings.
7.Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.
8.To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation.
9.Always secure all moving portions before carrying the tool.
10.Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is for carrying and storage purposes only and not for any cutting operations.
11.Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
15.Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges (especially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage to these parts could result in blade breakage.
16.Make sure that the turn base is properly secured so it will not move during operation. Use the holes in the base to fasten the saw to a stable work platform or bench. NEVER use tool where operator positioning would be awkward.
17.For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces, etc. from the table top before operation.
18.Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation.
19.Make sure the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on.
20.Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn base in the lowest position.
21.Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.
22.Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
23.Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Blade guard
002016
1. Blade guard
1
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automatically. The blade guard returns to its original position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular operation of the blade guard should be corrected immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARD OR SPRING ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or workpiece is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through the guard is impaired, use the supplied socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise and raise the blade guard and center cover. With the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning is complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt. Do not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard becomes discolored through age or UV light exposure, contact a Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.

The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, insert the dust nozzle into the dust spout on the blade case and fit the bag’s entry port over 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.
NOTE:
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
•It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or the workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a complete stop.
CAUTION:
•When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are as high as the top surface level of the turn base. 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.

The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the base. When performing 15° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side opposite the direction in which the turn base is to be turned.
005232 |
By flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut to the right. Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured by the horizontal vise is 200 mm (7-7/8”).
When installing the horizontal vise on the right side of the base, also use the sub-fence R to secure the workpiece more firmly. Refer to the “Sub-fence R” section described on previously for installing the sub-fence R.
CAUTION:
•Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully when securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can result in PERSONAL INJURY.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
•Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
•Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
•Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down handle with only as much force as is necessary for smooth cutting and without significant decrease in blade speed.
•Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
•During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
1.Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)
002022
1. Knob
1
Workpieces up to 115 mm (4-1/2”) high and 75 mm (2-15/16”) wide can be cut in the following way. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and tighten the knob clockwise to secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
•Firmly tighten the knob clockwise so that the carriage will not move during operation. Insufficient tightening may cause unexpected kickback of the blade. Possible serious PERSONAL INJURY may result.
2.Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
002023
1. Knob
1
Loosen the knob counterclockwise so that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece with the vise. Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Press down the handle and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
13
CAUTION:
•Whenever performing the slide cut, FIRST PULL THE CARRIAGE TOWARD YOU FULLY and press down the handle to the fully lowered position, then PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE. NEVER START THE CUT WITH THE CARRIAGE NOT FULLY PULLED TOWARD YOU. If you perform the slide cut without pulling the carriage fully or if you perform the slide cut toward your direction, the blade may kickback unexpectedly with the potential to cause serious PERSONAL INJURY.
•Never perform the slide cut with the handle locked in the lowered position by pressing the stopper pin.
•Never loosen the knob which secures the carriage while the blade is rotating. This may cause serious injury.
3.Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter angle”.
4.Bevel cut
002024
Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the bevel angle”). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled all the way back toward the operator. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position while applying pressure in parallel with the blade and PUSH THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE TO CUT THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated position.
CAUTION:
•Always be sure that the blade will move down to bevel direction during a bevel cut. Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
•During a bevel cut, it may create a condition whereby the piece cut off will come to rest against the side of the blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught by the blade, causing fragments to be scattered which
is dangerous. The blade should be raised ONLY after the blade has come to a complete stop.
•When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in parallel with the blade. If a force is applied perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressure direction is changed during a cut, the precision of the cut will be impaired.
•Always set the sub-fence to the left position when performing left bevel cuts.
5.Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be performed at angle shown in the table.

A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the cutting depth of the blade. Refer to “Stopper arm” section described previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. Then remove the workpiece material between the grooves with a chisel. Do not attempt to perform this type of cut using wide (thick) blades or with a dado blade. Possible loss of control and injury may result.
CAUTION:
•Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original position when performing other than groove cutting.
CAUTION:
•Always secure all moving portions before carrying the tool.
•Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposes only and not for any cutting operations.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
WARNING:
•Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the best and safest performance.
