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
4 3
arrow on the blade case. Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the
socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed) securely counterclockwise
while pressing the shaft lock.

• The silver ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed onto the
spindle. The black ring 25 mm in outer diameter is included as standard
equipment. 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.

For European countries
• The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed between the inner
and outer flanges.
Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the socket wrench to tighten
the hex bolt (left-handed) securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft
lock.
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original 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.
Dust bag
001861
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 collec-
tion.
NOTE:
If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and
cleaner operations can be performed.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece properly and
tightly with the vise. Failure to do so can cause the tool to be damaged
and/or the workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO
RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the
blade has come to a complete stop.
