ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. Wear hearing protection.
2. Keep Guards In Place and In Working Order.
Never wedge or tie lower guard open. Check
operation of lower guard before each use.
Don’t use if lower guard does not close
briskly over saw blade.
CAUTION: If saw is dropped, lower guard may
be bent, restricting full return.
3. Do not use blades which are deformed or
cracked.
4. Do not use blades of high speed steel.
5. Do not stop the blades by lateral pressure on
the saw blade.
6. Keep Blades Clean and Sharp. Sharp blades
minimize stalling and kickback.
7. DANGER:
Keep Hands Away From Cutting Area. Keep
hands away from blades. Don’t reach underneath work while blade is rotating. Don’t
attempt to remove cut material when blade is
moving.
CAUTION: Blades coast after turn off.
8. Support Large Panels. (Fig. 1 & 2)
Large panels must be supported as shown in
Fig. 1 to minimize the risk of blade pinching
and kickback. When cutting operation
requires the resting of the saw on the workpiece, the saw shall be rested on the larger
portion and the smaller piece cut off.
9. Use Rip Fence.
Always use a fence or straight edge guide
when ripping.
10. Guard Against Kickback. (Fig. 1 & 3)
Kickback occurs when the saw stalls rapidly
and is driven back towards the operator.
Release switch immediately if blade binds or
saw stalls. Keep blades sharp. Support large
panels as shown in Fig.1.
Use fence or straight edge guide when ripping. Don’t force tool. Stay alert – exercise
control. Don’t remove saw from work during a
cut while the blade is moving.
NEVER place your hand or fingers behind the
saw. If kickback occurs, the saw could easily
jump backwards over your hand, possibly
causing severe injury.
11. Lower Guard.
Raise lower guard with the retracting handle.
12. Adjustments.
Before cutting be sure depth and bevel
adjustments are tight.
13. Use Only Correct Blades In Mounting.
Don’t use blades with incorrect size holes.
Never use defective or incorrect blade washers or bolts.

14. Avoid Cutting Nails.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before cutting.
15. When operating the saw, keep the cord away
from the cutting area and position it so that it
will not be caught on the workpiece during
the cutting operation. Operate with proper
hand support, proper workpiece support, and
supply cord routing away from the work area.
WARNING:
It is important to support the workpiece properly and to hold the saw firmly to prevent loss
of control which could cause personal injury.
Fig. 4 illustrates typical hand support of the
saw.
16. Place the wider portion of the saw base on
that part of the workpiece which is solidly
supported, not on the section that will fall off
when the cut is made.
As example, Fig.5 illustrates the RIGHT way
to cut off the end of a board, and Fig.6 the
WRONG way. If the workpiece is short or
small, clamp it down. DON’T TRY TO HOLD
SHORT PIECES BY HAND! (Fig. 6)
17. Never attempt to saw with the circular saw
held upside down in a vise. This is extremely
dangerous and can lead to serious accidents.
(Fig. 7)
18. Before setting the tool down after completing
a cut, be sure that the lower (telescoping)
guard has closed and the blade has come to
a complete stop.
19. Using manufacturer data
• Ensure that the diameter, thickness and
other characteristics of the saw blade are
suitable for the tool.
• Ensure that the saw blade is suitable for the
spindle speed of the tool .
20. Do not use any abrasive wheel.

To remove the saw blade, depress the shaft lock fully
to prevent shaft rotation, then use the hex wrench to
loosen the hex socket head bolt. (Fig.8)
Now remove the outer flange, raise the safety cover
as much as possible, and remove the saw blade.
(Fig. 9)
Install the saw blade using the reverse of the removal
procedure. Install the inner flange, saw blade, outer
flange and hex socket head bolt, in that order. Be
sure to secure the hex socket head bolt tightly with
the shaft lock fully depressed. (Fig. 10)
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the blade teeth point forward in the
same direction as the tool rotation (the arrow on the
blade should point in the same direction as the
arrow on the tool).
• The inner flange has a 30 mm diameter on one side
and a 20 mm diameter on the other. The side with
20 mm diameter is marked by “20”. Use the correct
side for the hole diameter of the blade you intend to
use. Mounting the blade on the wrong side can
result in dangerous vibration.
• Use only the Makita hex wrench to remove or install
the blade.
Riving knife adjustment (Fig. 11)
Use the hex wrench to loosen the hex socket head
bolt for the riving knife adjustment, then raise the
safety cover. Move the riving knife up or down over
the two protruberances for settings indicated in the
illustration, so as to obtain the proper clearance
between the riving knife and saw blade.
CAUTION:
Ensure that the riving knife is adjusted such that:
The distance between the riving knife and the
toothed rim of the saw blade is not more than 5mm.
The toothed rim does not extend more than 5mm
beyond the lower edge of the riving knife.
Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 12)
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the
base up or down. At a desired depth of cut, secure
the base by tightening the lever.
CAUTION:
• Use a shallow depth of cut when cutting thin workpiece for cleaner, safer cuts.
• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
lever securely.
Adjusting for bevel cuts (Fig.13)
Loosen the thumb screws in front and back, and tilt
the tool to the desired angle for bevel cuts (0°–45°).
Secure the thumb screws tightly in front and back
after making the adjustment.
Sighting (Fig.14)
For straight cuts, align the right notch on the front of
the base with your cutting line on the workpiece. For
45° bevel cuts, align the left notch with it.

Switch action (Fig. 15)
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
depress the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
“OFF” position when released.
Operation (Fig. 16)
Hold the tool firmly. Set the base plate on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact.
Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains
full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the
workpiece surface, keeping it flat and advancing
smoothly until the sawing is completed. To get clean
cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed
of advance uniform.
CAUTION:
• The riving knife should always be used except
when plunging in the middle of the workpiece.
• Do not stop the saw blade by lateral pressure on
the disc.
Guide rule (Fig.17)
The handy guide rule allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the guide rule up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the bolt on the front of the base. It also
makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
Joint assembly (Fig. 18 &19)
(for connecting a vacuum cleaner)
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install the
joint on the tool using the screw. Then connect a
hose of vacuum cleaner to the joint.
