1. Wear eye and hearing protection. Other suitable
personal protective equipment should be worn.
2. NEVER wear gloves during operation except for
replacing saw blades or handling rough material
before operation.
3. Keep the floor area around the tool level well
maintained and free of loose materials e.g. chips
and cut-offs.
12
4. Do not operate saw without guards and riving
knife in place. Check blade guards for proper
closing before each use. Do not operate saw if
blade guards do not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guards
into the open position. Any irregular operation of
the blade guards should be corrected immediately.
5. Clean and be careful not to damage the spindle,
flanges (especially the installing surface) and
hex bolt before or when installing the blade.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage. Poor installation may cause vibration/
wobbling or slippage of the blade. Use only
flanges specified for this tool.
6. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Do not use saw blade which
are damaged or deformed.
7. Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer and which conform to EN847-1, and
observe that the riving knife must not be thicker
than the width of the cut by the saw blade and
not thinner than the body of the blade.
8. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive cut-off wheels may cause an injury.
9. Select the correct saw blade for the material to
be cut.
10. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
11. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
12. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
13. 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.
14. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
15. Don’t use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
16. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the work area and table top before
plugging the tool and starting operation.
17. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the tool.
18. Keep hands and make your bystander and yourself position out of path of and not in line with
saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting
blade. It can still cause severe injury and never
reach around saw blade.
19. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Don’t be lulled into a
false sense of security. Blades are extremely
unforgiving.
20. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
21. 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.
22. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.
23. The tool should not be used for slotting, rabbetting or grooving.
24. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other
parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the tool is running and the saw head is not
in the rest position.
25. Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
26. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving workpiece or changing settings.
27. Unplug tool before changing blade, servicing or
not in use.
28. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based-painted material 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.
29. Connect the tool to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
When using in miter saw mode:
30. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, aluminum or similar materials.
31. Do not perform operation freehand when cutting
workpiece in an area close to saw blade. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence during all operations.
32. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation.
33. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed when
beveling. Tighten the lever clockwise to fix the
arm.
34. Make sure the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position and is not contacting
the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
35. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
36. Replace the kerf board when worn.
When using in the table saw (bench saw) mode:
37. Do not perform any operation freehand. Freehand means using your hands to support or
guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence.
38. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed in the
working position. Tighten the lever clockwise to
fix the arm.
39. Use a push stick or a push block to avoid working with the hands and fingers close to the saw
blade.
40. Make sure that the bench saw table is securely
fixed at the chosen height.
41. Make sure the blade is not contacting the riving
knife or workpiece before the switch is turned
on.
42. Always store the push-stick when it is not in use.
13
43. 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 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.
44. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
• Keep the floor area around the tool level well main-
tained and free of loose materials such as chips and
cut-offs.
Installing auxiliary plate (Fig. 1 & 2)
Install the auxiliary plate using the notch in the tool’s
base and secure it by tightening the hex bolt.
Bench mounting (Fig. 3)
This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’s
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Blade guard (Fig. 4 & 5)
CAUTION:
• Make sure that the handle cannot be lowered without
pushing the lever nearby the handle to the left.
• Make sure that the lower blade guards A and B dose
not open unless the lever near the handle is pushed at
the topmost position of the handle.
When lowering the handle while pushing the lever to the
left, the lower blade guard A rises automatically. The
lower blade guard B rises as it contacts a workpiece. The
lower blade guards are spring loaded so it returns to its
original position when the cut is completed and the handle is raised. The top blade guard falls flat on the top surface after workpiece has passed under it. NEVER
DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE LOWER BLADE GUARDS,
THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES TO THE LOWER
BLADE GUARD, OR THE TOP BLADE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
each blade guard in good condition. Any irregular operation of the guards should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of the lower
blade guards. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE LOWER
BLADE GUARD, SPRING OR THE TOP BLADE GUARD
ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED. DOING SO IS
HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY.
If any of these see-through blade guards 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
guards carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents
or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard.
If the lower blade guard A is especially dirty and vision
through the guard is impaired, proceed as follows. Fix the
top table at the fully elevated position, raise the handle
fully, push in fully the stopper pin with the handle fully
raised, and 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 lower blade
guard A and center cover while pushing the lever to the
left. With the lower blade guard A so positioned, cleaning
can be more completely and efficiently accomplished.
When cleaning is complete, reverse procedure above
and secure bolt.
In the same case for the top blade guard as above
stated, loosen the screw holding it with a screwdriver and
remove the top blade guard. After cleaning, always reinstall it securely by tightening the screw to the extent that
the top blade guard moves smoothly up or down.
If any of these blade guards becomes discolored through
age or UV light exposure, contact a Makita service center
for a new guard. DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE
GUARDS.
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
(Fig. 6 & 7)
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting capacity for a 260 mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
CAUTION:
• When making this adjustment, position the top table at
the lowest position after unplugging the tool.
First, unplug the tool. Position the top table at the lowest
position. Lower the handle completely. Use the socket
wrench to turn the adjusting bolt that you can find below
in the biggest hole in the top table, until the periphery of
the blade extends slightly below the top surface of the
turn base at the point where the front face of the guide
fence meets the top surface of the turn base.
With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while
holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base. Readjust slightly, if necessary.
CAUTION:
• After installing a new blade, always be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base when
the handle is lowered completely. Always do this with
the tool unplugged.

Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always be
sure that the correct ring for the arbor hole of the blade
you intend to use is installed onto the spindle. (Fig. 20)
For European countries
CAUTION:
• The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed
between the inner and outer flanges. (Fig. 20)
Return the lower blade guard A and center cover to its
original position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover. Raise the blade guard B as far
as it will go and tighten the clamping screw firmly while
holding it in the raised position. Lower the handle to
make sure that the lower blade guards move properly.
Make sure shaft lock has released spindle before making
cut.

Adjusting riving knife
Before adjusting the riving knife, loosen the two levers by
turning counterclockwise and press the top table on the
right side nearby the riving knife to its lowered position.
Then secure the top table by firmly re-tightening the two
levers as shown in the figure. (Fig. 21)
There must be a clearance of about 4 – 5 mm between
the riving knife and the blade teeth. Adjust the riving knife
accordingly by loosening two hex bolts counterclockwise
with the hex socket wrench and measuring the distance.
Tighten the hex bolts securely, and then check to see that
the top blade guard works smoothly before cutting.
(Fig. 22)
The riving knife has been installed before shipment from
the factory so that the blade and riving knife are in a
straight line. (Fig. 23)
CAUTION:
• If the blade and riving knife 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 riving knife. If they are not
aligned for any reasons, always have Makita authorized
service center repair it.
Installing and adjusting rip fence
1. Install the rip fence on the table so that the rip fence
holder engages with the guide rail. Tighten the
clamping screw (B) of the rip fence firmly clockwise.
2. Loosen the clamping screw (A).
3. Slide the rip fence and secure it so that the far end
from you of the rip fence is aligned with the point at
which the front edge of saw blade just appears from
top surface of the workpiece. The purpose of this
adjustment is to reduce risk of kick-back toward
operator that cut piece from the workpiece is
pinched between the saw blade and rip fence and
finally pushed out toward operator. The line 3 varies
by thickness of workpiece or the table level. Adjust
the position of the rip fence according to the thickness of the workpiece.
After adjusting the rip fence, tighten the clamping
screw (A) firmly. (Fig. 24 & 25)
NOTE:
• There are four patterns to position the rip fence as
shown in the figure. (Fig. 26) Rip fence has two slits on
its sides, one slit with an elevated fringe nearby on the
same side and the other without it. Use the surface of
rip fence with this fringe facing the workpiece only
when cutting off into a piece of a thin workpiece.
• To change the rip fence pattern, remove the rip fence
from the rip fence holder by loosening the clamping
screw (A) and change the facing of the rip fence to the
rip fence holder so that the rip fence faces the rip fence
holder according to your work as shown in the figure.
Insert the square nut on the rip fence holder into the
back end of either slit of the rip fence so that they fit as
shown in the figure.
To change from the pattern A or B to the pattern C or D,
or in adverse case, remove the square nut, washer and
clamping screw (A) from the rip fence holder, then position the clamping screw (A), washer and square nut on
the opposite position of the rip fence holder compared to
the original position. Tighten the clamping screw (A)
securely after inserting the square nut of the rip fence
holder into the rip fence slit. Insert the square nut on the
rip fence holder into the back end of either slit of the rip
fence so that they fit as shown in the figure. (Fig. 27)
The rip fence is factory adjusted so that it is parallel to
the blade surface. Make sure that it is parallel. To check
to be sure that the rip fence is parallel with the blade.
Lower the table to the lowest position so that the blade
appears at the topmost position from the table. Mark one
of the blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance
(A) and (B) between the rip fence and blade. Take both
measurements using the tooth marked with the crayon.
(Fig. 28) These two measurements should be identical. If
the rip fence is not parallel with the blade, proceed as follows: (Fig. 29)
1. Turn two adjusting screws counterclockwise.
2. Shift the back edge of the rip fence slightly to right or
left until it becomes parallel with the blade.
3. Tighten the two screws on the rip fence firmly.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it is parallel with
the blade, or a dangerous kickback condition may
occur.
• Be sure to adjust the rip fence so that it does not con-
tact the top blade guard or saw blade. (Fig. 30)
Dust bag
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto
the dust nozzle. (Fig. 31)
NOTE:
• In miter saw mode, always insert the dust bag to the
back nozzle only.
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. (Fig. 32)
If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
To install the blade cover when using in the table saw
mode (bench mode), turn the turn base to 0° miter angle
(see the section titled “Adjusting miter angle”) and place
the blade cover on the turn table so that the blade cover
is centered over the slit for the blade entrance in the turn
table and then lock the handle in the lowest position by
fully pushing in the stopper pin as shown in the figure.
(Fig. 33)
NOTE:
• To attach the dust bag to the front dust nozzle in the
table saw mode (bench mode), first remove the cap
from the front dust nozzle and then attach the dust bag
to the dust nozzle.
• When not in use of dust bag, always replace the cap to
the front dust nozzle. Failure to do so result in dust
scattering from the nozzle.
• When using the tool in the table saw mode (bench
mode), make sure that the blade cover is installed on
the turn table.
16
Securing workpiece
Whenever possible, secure the workpiece with the
optional vise. If you must use your hand to hold the workpiece, then it must be done firmly and securely so as not
to lose control of the workpiece. Your hand and arm must
be kept well away from the blade area (100 mm minimum). Squeeze the workpiece firmly against the guide
fence with your fingers held over the top of the guide
fence. The workpiece must also rest steadily on the turn
base.
WARNING:
• Never use your hand to hold the workpiece that
requires your hand to be any closer than 100 mm from
the blade area. In this case, always use the optional
vise to secure the workpiece. After any cutting operation, raise the blade gently. Never raise the blade until it
has come to a complete stop. Serious injury may result.
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
(both optional) to secure the workpiece. (Fig. 34)
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its
entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.
Vertical vise (optional accessory) (Fig. 35)
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the holder
assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise rod into
the hole in the guide fence or the holder assembly and
tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle all the way. If
some part contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory) (Fig. 36)
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 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.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 130 mm.
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. (Fig. 37)
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12. (Fig. 38)
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 pulling the stopper pin.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece,
etc. before the switch is turned on.
CUTTING AS MITER SAW
WARNING:
• When using the tool in the miter saw mode, secure the
top table at the topmost position so that the saw blade
never protrudes from the top surface of the top table.
CAUTION:
• 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.
1. Press cutting (Fig. 39)
Secure the workpiece against guide fence and turn table.
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.
2. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the miter
angle”.
3. Bevel cut (Fig. 40)
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 against guide fence and turn table. 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. 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.
17
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 the handle down, apply pressure parallel to the blade. If the pressure is not parallel to the
blade during a cut, the angle of the blade might be
shifted and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
6. Wood facing
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence using the
holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a suggested wood facing.
Over 460 mmOver 10 mm
4. 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.
Bevel angle Miter angle
45° Left and Right 0° – 45°
When performing compound cutting, refer to “Press cutting”, “Miter cutting” and “Bevel cut” explanations.
5. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 41)
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant when
cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent buildup of the
aluminum material on the blade.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose during operation and round aluminum extrusions cannot
be secured firmly with this tool.
• Never cut aluminum in the table saw mode (bench
mode).
25 mm
Hole
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.
7. Cutting repetitive lengths (Fig. 42)
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,
ranging from 240 mm to 400 mm, use of the set plate will
facilitate more efficient operation. Install the set plate on
the holder 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.
