locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not 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. DO NOT FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Do not 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. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when

changing accessories such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.

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. Do not 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 appliance 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 appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE APPLIANCE. 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 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.

liquids or gases.

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 riving knife/spreader and antikickback pawls 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

Not Recommended

step instructions outlined in this manual. Through sawing operations are those in which the blade cuts completely through the top of 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 raise the riving knife/spreader to the Spreader position and reattach the guard assembly and side guards, after completing an operation which requires removal of the guarding.

8. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws and other foreign material 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 riving knife/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 riving knife/spreader, antikickback pawls and blade guard in place for every operation for which it can be used 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.

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 workpieces. 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. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.

24. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

25. The side guards can be lifted during workpiece setup and for ease of cleaning. Always make sure that the side guards are down and resting flat against sawtable before plugging in the tool.

OPERATION

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.

NOTE:

• For your convenience a push stick has been

provided with the tool.

Wood facing (rip fence)

1. No. 10 wood screws (long enough to penetrate halfway into facing)

006165

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.

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.

008736

(2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mm

(2-1/2" - 6") wide, use the push stick to feed the workpiece.

1. Push stick

008737

(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.

1. Auxiliary fence

008735

2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip and lock in place by pivoting 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 the section titled "Installing and adjusting rip fence".

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.

008738

008739

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.

1. Push block

Cross cutting

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.

Auxiliary wood facing (miter gauge)

006168

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.

Non-through cut

Turn off the tool and unplug it before any adjustment. Remove the blade guard assembly from the riving knife/spreader. Adjust the riving knife/spreader to the RIVING KNIFE POSITION as described earlier in the manual. Before making a through cut adjust the riving knife/spreader to the spreader position and install the blade guard assembly and the side guards before operation.

WARNING:

• Conducting a through cut without proper

guarding may result in serious personal injury.

Carrying tool

008741

Carry the tool by holding the tool part shown in the figure.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

Cleaning

Clean out sawdust and chips from time to time. Carefully clean the blade guard and moving parts inside the table saw.

Lubrication

To keep the table saw in tip-top running condition, and to assure maximum service life, oil or grease the moving parts and rotating parts from time to time. Lubrication places:

• Threaded shaft to elevate the blade

• Hinge to rotate the frame

• Elevation guide shafts on motor

• Gear to elevate the blade

• Guide rails for the rip fence

• Shaft of the sub table (R) locking levers

• Sliding part of the sub table (R)

Replacing carbon brushes

1. Limit mark

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. To replace the carbon brushes, remove the blade guard and blade and then loosen the lock lever, tilt the saw head and secure it at 45° bevel angle. Carefully lay the tool on itself backward. Then loosen the brush holder cap. Remove the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and secure the brush holder caps. After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 minutes. Then check the tool while running and electric brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If electric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita service center to repair.

It is required to use this Table Insert for dado head sets. Use of the standard table insert will interfere with the dado head set operation.

To install the dadao head set, proceed as follows.

1. Remove the blade guard assembly.

2. Remove the standard table insert.

3. Place riving knife/spreader into the dado position.

4. Install the dado head set according to manufacturer's instructions.

5. Place the table insert for dado cutting into the table.

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.

1. C clamps

2. Facing board

3. Push stick

4. Featherboard

To install featherboards, proceed as follows:

6. Turn the tool off and unplug it.

7. Add 8" high flat facing board to the rip fence, the full length of the rip fence.

8. 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.

9. Make sure featherboards are securely attached.

WARNING:

• Do not use dado headsets wider than 21mm

(13/16") or dados greater than 6" in outmost diameter.

• After dadoing, ALWAYS properly adjust the riving

knife/spreader and replace the blade guard assembly and side guards for through cuts.

• NEVER attempt bevel cuts when dadoing.

• NEVER dado if there is vibration (flutter) or a

strange noise.

• 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.

• Use extra caution when the guard assembly is

removed for any non-through sawing operation such as dadoing, rabbeting or re-sawing. Adjust the riving knife/spreader and replace the guard assembly and side guards.

How to perform rabbeting

1. Rabbet

2. Second cut

006183

1. Remove blade guard assembly and properly adjust the riving knife/spreader to the riving knife poisiton.

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. When moving from a rabbet cut operation to a through cut operation adjust the riving knife/spreader to the spreader position and install the guard assembly and side guards.
