INSTALLATION
Bench mounting
When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the lowered position by the handle latch. Release the handle
latch by lowering the handle slightly and turn the handle
latch to the released position. (Fig. 1)
This tool should be bolted with four 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.
(Fig. 2)
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
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.
(Fig. 3 & 4)
Kerf board
This tool is provided with the kerf board in the turn base
to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. If the kerf
groove has not yet been cut in the kerf board by the factory, you should cut the groove before actually using the
tool to cut a workpiece. Switch on the tool and lower the
blade gently to cut a groove in the kerf board.
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting capacity for a 355 mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Lower the handle completely.
Loosen the hex nut at the rear of the gear housing. Use a
screwdriver to turn the adjusting bolt 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.
After adjusting, tighten the hex nut with the wrench while
carefully holding the adjusting bolt in position with the
screwdriver.
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.
Adjusting the miter angle
Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the
turn base while pressing down the lock lever. When you
have moved the grip to the position where the pointer
points to the desired angle on the miter scale, securely
tighten the grip clockwise.
CAUTION:
• When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the handle
fully.
• After changing the miter angle, always secure the turn
base by tightening the grip firmly.
Fence plate
The fence plate is designed to prevent smaller cutting
scraps from jamming inside the blade case. The fence
plate moves right or left automatically as the turn base is
rotated.
(Fig. 5)
(Fig. 6 & 7)
(Fig. 8)
Switch action (Fig. 9)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
“OFF” position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.

Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly stop blade after switch
trigger release, have tool serviced at a Makita service
center.
The blade brake system is not a substitute for blade
guard. NEVER USE TOOL WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING
BLADE GUARD. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
• Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to install
or remove the blade. Failure to do so may result in
overtightening or insufficient tightening of the hex bolt.
This could cause a personal injury.
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen
the hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it counterclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center cover.
(Fig. 10)
Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then
remove the hex bolt, outer flange and blade. (Fig. 11 &
12)
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface
of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the
blade case. Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then
use the socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (lefthanded) securely counterclockwise while pressing the
shaft lock. (Fig. 13 & 14)
CAUTION:
• The inner flange has a 25 mm diameter on one side
and a 25.4 mm diameter on the other. The side with
25.4 mm diameter is marked by “25.4”. 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.
Slip the pin on the blade guard into the slot in the guide
arm while returning the blade guard to its original fully
closed position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover. Lower the handle to make sure
that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft
lock has released spindle before making cut. (Fig. 15)
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.
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. 16)
NOTE:
• If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw,
more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
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.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory) (Fig. 17)
The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left or
right side of the base. When performing 30° or greater
miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side opposite
the direction in which the turn table 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.
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.
Holders and holder assembly (optional accessories)
(Fig. 18)
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 Fig. 18.
Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the holders and
the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12. (Fig. 19)
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.
10
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 leave a mark (saw
mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will
be impaired.
1. Press cutting (Fig. 20)
Secure the workpiece. 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. Cutting aluminum extrusion (Fig. 21)
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in Fig. 21 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.
4. Wood facing (Fig. 22, 23 & 24)
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 Fig. 23 concerning the dimensions for a suggested
wood facing.
After changing the miter angle, cut the wood facing at
that selected angle. If there is a gap between the blade,
the wood facing and the workpiece, move the wood facing slightly in the direction of the arrow and cut 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 (Fig. 25)
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 Fig. 25.
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 (7.2 ft.)
approximately.
Carrying tool
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the turn
base at right miter angle fully by means of the grip. Lower
the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by turning the handle latch to the locked position. (Fig. 26)
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as
shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,
etc., you can carry the tool more easily. (Fig. 27)
CAUTION:
• Always secure all moving portions before carrying the
tool.
• Handle latch is for carrying and storage purposes only
and not for any cutting operations.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the
best and safest performance.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
Loosen the grip which secures the turn base. Turn the
turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter
scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clockwise and
counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0° miter
notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to 0°.)
Loosen the hex bolts securing the guide fence using the
socket wrench. (Fig. 28)
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by turning the handle latch to the locked position. Square
the side of the blade with the face of the guide fence
using a triangular rule, try-square, etc. Then securely
tighten the hex bolts on the guide fence in the order from
the right side. (Fig. 29)
Make sure that the pointer on the indication plate points
to 0° on the miter scale. If the pointer does not point to
0°, loosen the screws which secure the indication plate
and adjust it so that the pointer will point to 0°. (Fig. 30)
