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.
WARNING:
Never defeat or remove the blade guard or the
•
spring which attaches to the guard. An exposed
blade as a result of defeated guarding may result
in serious personal injury during operation.
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.
WARNING:
Never use the tool if the blade guard or spring
•
are damaged, faulty or removed. Operation of
the tool with a damaged, faulty or removed guard
may result in serious personal injury.

If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or
sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade
and/or workpiece is no longer easily visible, remove the
battery cartridge and clean the guard carefully with a
damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petroleum-based
cleaners on the plastic guard because this may cause
damage to the guard.
If the blade guard becomes dirty and needs to be
cleaned for proper operation follow the steps below:
With the tool switched off and the battery cartridge
removed, use the supplied hex wrench to loosen the hex
socket bolt holding the center cover. Loosen the hex
socket 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
damaged through age or UV light exposure, contact a
Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT
DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
