GENERAL SAFETY RULES GEA001-3
WARNING:
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or batteryoperated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Wor k area sa fe ty
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Electrical safety
4. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
5. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-
tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
8. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
Personal safety
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
10. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
11. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
12. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
14. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
15. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
16. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate
for which it was designed.
17. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
3
Page 4
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automatically. The guard is
spring loaded so it 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 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.

Securing workpiece
WAR NING:
• 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.
001549
2
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.

Horizontal vise (Accessory)
The horizontal vise can be installed 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. By turning
the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw is released and the vise shaft can
2
be moved rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw
remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently clockwise
until the projection reaches its topmost position, then fasten securely. If the
vise knob is forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the projection
may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise
until the screw is released, before turning again gently clockwise.
CAUTION:
• Grip the workpiece only when the projection is at the topmost position.
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.
001809
Holders and holder assembly (optional accessories)
The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on either side as a convenient means of supporting workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in
the figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the holders and the holder
assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod assembly (optional acces-
001810
sory). It consists of two holder assemblies and two rods 12.
CAUTION:
• Always support long workpieces level with the top surface of the turn
base for accurate cuts and to prevent dangerous loss of control of the
tool.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by
turning the handle latch to the released position.
• 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
11
Page 12
002159
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will
be impaired.
1. Press cutting
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.

it again.
CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood facing.
• Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide fence. The screws
should be installed so that the screw heads are below the surface of the
wood facing.
• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn base with the
handle lowered. The blade and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
NOTE:
• When the wood facing is attached, the maximum cutting capacities in
width will be reduced by thickness of the wood facing.
5. Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length, ranging from
300 mm to 400 mm, use of the set plate (optional accessory) will facilitate more efficient operation. Install the set plate on the holder (optional
accessory) as shown in the figure.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the left or right side of
the groove in the kerf board, and while holding the workpiece from moving, move the set plate flush against the end of the workpiece. Then
secure the set plate with the screw. When the set plate is not used,
loosen the screw and turn the set plate out of the way.
NOTE:
• Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory) allows cutting
repetitive lengths up to 2,200 mm approximately.

and down while tightening the hex lock nut; the best position to tighten the hex
lock nut is just before the motor body weight is obvious.
After adjusting the hex lock nut, be sure that the handle returns automatically
to the initial, raised position from any position. If the hex lock nut is too loose,
the cutting accuracy will be affected; if it is too tight, it will be hard to work the
handle up and down. Note that this is a self locking nut. It is a special type that
does not loosen in normal use. It should not be overtightened or replaced with
other types of nuts.
001145
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace when they wear
down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the
holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only
identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the worn carbon
002164
brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps.
