GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(For All Tools)
4
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 accidentally
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.
EXTENSION CORDS.
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 power and overheating. Table 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If
in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING
UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
22. 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.

1. Wear eye protection.
2. Don’t use the tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases.
3. NEVER use the tool with an abrasive
cut-off wheel installed.
4. Check the blade carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace
cracked
or damaged blade immediately.
5. Clean the spindle, flanges (especially
the installing surface) and hex nut before
installing the blade. Poor installation may
cause vibration/wobbling or slippage of
the blade.
6.
Use saw-blade guard and spreader for
every operation for which it can be used,
including all through sawing operations.
Always assemble and install the blade guard
following the step by step instructions outlined in this manual. Through sawing
operations are those in which the blade cuts
completely through the workpiece as in
ripping or cross cutting. NEVER use the
tool with a faulty blade guard or secure the
blade guard with a rope, string, etc. Any
irregular operation of the blade guard
should be corrected immediately.
7. Immediately reattach the guard and
spreader after completing an operation
which
requires removal of the guard.
8. Do not cut metals such as nails and
screws.Inspect for and remove all nails,
screws and other foreign matter from the
workpiece before operation.
9. Remove wrenches, cut-off pieces, etc.
from the table before the switch is turned on.
10. NEVER wear gloves during operation.
11. Keep hands out of the line of the saw
blade.
12. NEVER stand or permit anyone else to
stand in line with the path of the saw
blade.
13. Make sure the blade is not contacting
the spreader or workpiece before the
switch is turned on.
14. Before cutting an actual workpiece, let
the tool run for a while. Watch for vibration
or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.
15. NEVER make any adjustments while
tool is running. Disconnect tool before
making any adjustments.
16. Use a push stick when required. Push
sticks MUST be used for ripping narrow
workpieces to keep your hands and fingers
well away from the blade.
17.
Pay particular attention to instructions
for
reducing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK
is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned
saw blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection of
the workpiece from the tool back towards the
operator. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS
by keeping the blade sharp, by keeping the rip
fence parallel to the blade, by keeping the
spreader, antikickback pawls and blade guard
in place and operating properly, by not releasing the workpiece until you have pushed it all
the way past
the blade, and by not ripping a
workpiece
that is twisted or warped or does not
have
a straight edge to guide along the
fence.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict
adherence to table saw safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can
suffer serious personal injury.
6
18.
Do not perform any operation freehand.
Freehand means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip
fence or miter gauge.
19. NEVER reach around or over saw
blade. NEVER reach for a workpiece until
the saw blade has completely stopped.
20. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as
slowly as possible when cutting hard
work-
pieces. Do not bend or twist workpiece
while
feeding. If you stall or jam the blade in the
workpiece, turn the tool off immediately.
Unplug the tool. Then clear the jam.
21. NEVER remove cut-off pieces near the
blade or touch the blade guard while the
blade is running.
22. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece BEFORE beginning to cut.
23. Don’t abuse cord. Never yank cord to
disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, water and sharp
edges.
24. Some material contains chemicals
which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent working dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
25. The guard can be lifted during workpiece setup and for ease of cleaning.
Always make sure that guard hood is
down and flat against sawtable before
plugging in the tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause
serious personal injury.
The tool is shipped from the factory with the saw blade
and blade guard not in the installed condition. Assemble
as follows:
CAUTION:
• Always unplug the tool before assembly.
Installing saw blade
Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer
flange with the offset wrench and loosen the hex nut
counterclockwise with the wrench. Then remove the
outer flange.
Assemble the inner flange, blade, outer flange and hex
nut onto the arbor, making sure that the teeth of the
blade are pointing down at the front of the table. Always
install the hex nut with its recessed side facing the outer
flange.
CAUTION:
• Keep the flange surface clean of dirt or other adhering
matter; it could cause blade slippage. Be sure that the
blade is installed so that the teeth are aligned in the cutting (turning) direction.
To secure the blade in place, hold the outer flange with
the offset wrench, then tighten the hex nut clockwise
with the wrench. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
NUT SECURELY.

Installing blade guard
CAUTION:
• Before installing the blade guard, adjust the depth of
cut to its maximum elevation. Insert the spreader
between the blade guard mounting portion (stay) and
the pressure plate.
Tighten the hex bolts (A) with the offset wrench. The
spreader installing location is factory-adjusted so that
the blade and spreader will be in a straight line.
However, if they are not in a straight line, loosen the
hex bolts (B) and adjust the blade guard mounting portion (stay) so that the spreader is aligned directly
behind the blade. Then tighten the hex bolts (B) to
secure the stay.
CAUTION:
• Always grasp the striped portion of the offset wrench
when tightening the hex bolts. If you tighten the hex
bolts while grasping the offset wrench further than the
striped portion, the hex bolts may be damaged and/or
an injury to your hand may result.
• If the blade and spreader are not aligned properly, a
dangerous pinching condition may result during operation. Make sure they are properly aligned. You could
suffer serious personal injury while using the tool without a properly aligned spreader.
• NEVER make any adjustments while tool is running.
Disconnect the tool before making any adjustments.
There must be a clearance of about 4 - 5 mm (5/32” -
13/64”) between the spreader and the blade teeth.
Adjust the spreader accordingly and tighten the hex
bolts (A) securely. Attach the table insert on the table,
then check to see that the blade guard works smoothly

Positioning table saw
Locate the table saw in a well lit and level area where
you can maintain good footing and balance. It should
be installed in an area that leaves enough room to easily handle the size of your workpieces. The table saw
should be secured with four screws or bolts to the work
bench or table saw stand using the holes provided in
the bottom of the table saw. When securing the table
saw on the work bench, make sure that there is an
opening in the top of the work bench the same size as
the opening in the bottom of the table saw so the sawdust can drop through.
If during operation there is any tendency for the table
saw to tip over, slide or move, the work bench or table
saw stand should be secured to the floor.
NOTE:Table saw stand
• Models 2702X1 and 2703X1 are standard-equipped
with a table saw stand.

• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch lever actuates properly and returns to the
“OFF” position.
• Do not pull the switch lever hard without the key. This
can cause breakage of the switch.
CAUTION:
• Always use “work helpers” such as push sticks and
push blocks when there is a danger that your hands or
fingers will come close to the blade.
• Always hold the workpiece firmly with the table and
the rip fence or miter gauge. Do not bend or twist it
while feeding. If the workpiece is bent or twisted, dangerous kickbacks may occur.
• NEVER withdraw the workpiece while the blade is running. If you must withdraw the workpiece before completing a cut, first switch the tool off while holding the
workpiece firmly. Wait until the blade has come to a
complete stop before withdrawing the workpiece.
Failure to do so may cause dangerous kickbacks.
• NEVER remove cut-off material while the blade is running.
• NEVER place your hands or fingers in the path of the
saw blade. Be especially careful with bevel cuts.
• Always secure the rip fence firmly, or dangerous kickbacks may occur.
• Always use “work helpers” such as push sticks and
push blocks when cutting small or narrow workpieces,
or when the dado head is hidden from view while cutting.
Work helpers
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of
“work helpers”. Use them to make safe, sure cuts without the need for the operator to contact the blade with
any part of the body.

OPERATION
14
Push stick
A push stick can be easily made from a piece of plywood 19 mm (3/4”) to 25 mm (1”) thick.
Cut out the hatched area on the stick and smooth
edges with a file. (H) dimension should be less than
12.7 mm (1/2”) so as to be thinner than the workpiece.
Push block
Use a 19 mm (3/4”) piece of plywood.
Handle should be in center of plywood piece. Fasten
with glue and wood screws as shown. Small piece 9.5
mm x 8 mm x 50 mm (3/8” x 5/16” x 2”) of wood must
always be glued to plywood to keep the blade from
dulling if the operator cuts into push block by mistake.
(Never use nails in push block.)

Wood facing (rip fence)
A wood facing should be used for operations when the
blade comes close to the rip fence. Wood facing for the rip
fence should be the same size as the rip fence. Make sure
the bottom of facing is flush with the table surface.
Crosscutting
CAUTION:
• When making a crosscut, remove the rip fence from
the table.
• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide
adequate support to the sides of the table. The support should be at the same height as the table.
• Always keep hands away from path of blade.
Miter gauge
Use the miter gauge for the 4 types of cutting shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
• Secure the knob on the miter gauge carefully.
• Avoid creep of workpiece and gauge by firm workhold-
ing arrangement, especially when cutting at an angle.
• NEVER hold or grasp the intended “cut-off” portion of
the workpiece.
Use of miter gauge
Slide the miter gauge into the thick grooves in the table.
Loosen the knob on the gauge and align to desired
angle (0° to 60°). Bring stock flush up against fence and
feed gently forward into the blade.

Auxiliary wood facing (miter gauge)
To prevent a long board from wobbling, fit the miter
gauge with an auxiliary fence board. Fasten with
bolts/nuts after drilling holes, but fasteners must not
protrude from the face board.
Ripping
CAUTION:
• When ripping, remove the miter gauge from the table.
• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide
adequate support behind the table. DO NOT allow a
long board to move or shift on the table. This will
cause the blade to bind and increase the possibility of
kickback and personal injury. The support should be at
the same height as the table.
Before operating the table saw, check to be sure that
the antikickback pawls operate properly. Turn the tool
off and unplug it. Feed the workpiece under the blade
guard and along both sides of the blade to simulate cutting. Try to withdraw the workpiece on each side by
pulling it toward you. The antikickback pawls should
grab the workpiece and prevent it from moving back
toward the operator. Always keep the antikickback
pawls sharp so they will operate properly. Keep them
sharp by using a round-shaped file to maintain the original shape of the pawls.
1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the thickness
of the workpiece.
2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip and
lock in place by lowering the grip. Before ripping,
make sure the rear end of the rip fence is secured
firmly. If it is not secured enough, follow the procedures in “Installing and adjusting rip fence” described
on page 11 and 12.
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into
the blade along with the rip fence.
(1) When the width of rip is 150 mm (6”) and wider,
carefully use your right hand to feed the workpiece. Use your left hand to hold the workpiece
in position against the rip fence.
(2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mm (2-1/2”
- 6”) wide, use the push stick to feed the workpiece.
(3) When the width of rip is narrower than 65 mm
(2-1/2”), the push stick cannot be used because
the push stick will strike the blade guard. Use the
auxiliary fence and push block.
Attach the auxiliary fence to the rip fence with
two “C” clamps.
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is about
25 mm (1”) from the front edge of the table. Continue
to feed using the push block on the top of the auxiliary
fence until the cut is complete.

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 holder cap opener to remove the brush holder
caps. To replace the carbon brush in the side near the
table, lower the blade as far as possible by turning the
handle. Loosen the lock lever, tilt the blade and secure
it at 45°. Then loosen the brush holder cap while viewing it through the opening of the base. Remove the
worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure
the brush holder caps.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service

Table insert
(Part No. 317061-6)
When cutting grooves 5/16”, 3/8”,7/16” or 1/2” use this
table insert instead of the standard table insert.
To install the dado head set, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the tool off and unplug it before installing.
2. Remove the blade guard with the spreader.
3. Install the dado head set with the teeth pointing down
at the front of the table.
4. Use the chart below to select the proper cutters to
obtain the various cutting widths.
CAUTION:
• For a 1/8” cut width, the outside cutter is assembled to
the spindle in the same manner as the saw blade.
• The outer flange or the dado outer flange must be
used for each cut width.
• The hex nut alone must not be used to secure the
dado on to the spindle.

NOTE:
• When widths slightly greater than the above are
required, fit the paper washers in between the inside
and outside cutters to adjust the width.
5. Arrange the cutters so that the tips of the inside cutters are positioned at the gullets of the outside cutter.
When more than one inside cutter is used, space
the tips of the inside cutters equidistantly in relation
to one another. Poorly spaced cutters may cause
vibration and noise.
When installing two outside cutters without any inside
cutter, be sure that the cutter tips do not face each
other.
6.
While tightening the hex nut, be careful to maintain the
even spacing between the tips of the inside cutters.
7. Rotate the dado head one turn by hand to make sure
that it does not contact anything before operation.
When dadoing, use featherboards. The diagram shown
illustrates dimensions for making a typical featherboard.
It should be made from a straight piece of wood that is
free of knots or cracks.

Featherboards are used to keep the workpiece in contact with the rip fence and table as shown, and to stop
kickbacks.
To install featherboards, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the tool off and unplug it.
2. Add 8” high flat facing board to the rip fence, the full
length of the rip fence.
3. Mount featherboards to the rip fence and table as
shown, so that the leading edges of the featherboards will support the workpiece until the cut is
completed, and the workpiece has been pushed
completely past the cutter with a push stick.
4. Make sure featherboards are securely attached.
CAUTION:
• Only the Makita dado head set (Part No. 191543-4)
should be used with Makita table saw Model
2702/Model 2703. Do not use dado combinations
wider than 13 mm (1/2").
• After dadoing, ALWAYS replace the blade guard with
the spreader back in its original position on the table
saw.
• NEVER attempt bevel cuts when dadoing.
• NEVER dado if there is vibration (flutter) or a strange
noise.
• NEVER attempt dados in other than wood.
• Do not use the dado set for cut-offs.
•
Feed work slowly, especially when cutting deep or wide
grooves or dados. If a deep cut is needed, make several
passes through the workpiece rather than one deep,
wide cut. Fast or abrupt feeds can be dangerous.
• Use a push stick. When the dado head is hidden from
view while cutting, your hands should never be on top
of the stock.
• A very dangerous throwback can result if the wood
becomes stuck and you try to remove it by pulling
toward you. Always stop the tool and wait for dado
head to come to a complete stop. Then simply withdraw the wood.
WARNING:
• Use extra caution when the guard assembly is
removed for any non-through sawing operation such
as dadoing, rabbeting or resawing. Replace guard
immediately after non-through sawing is completed.

How to perform rabbeting
1. Remove blade guard.
2. Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence for cuts that run the
length of the stock. Facing should be as high as the
workpiece is wide. Adjust fence and blade to desired
dimensions.
3. First cut: Hold board flat on table as in ordinary ripping.
4. Second cut: Set workpiece on its edge. (Use featherboards, push stick, push block and so on, using precautions, safety rules and guidelines for ripping or
related work.)
5. For end-type rabbeting, if the workpiece is less than
10-1/2” wide, rest the wood flat on the table against
the miter gauge (with wood facing). The rip fence
should not be used.
6. After rabbeting is completed, immediately re-install
the blade guard as before.
Table saw stand (Part No. 192680-7)
Place the stays on a level location and assemble the
legs inside. Secure with the bolts and nuts, then attach
the rubber caps to the ends of the legs.
Now set the table saw on top of the assembled stand
and secure with four bolts, washers and nuts.
NOTE:
• Models 2702X1 and 2703X1 are standard-equipped
with a table saw stand.

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
