After use

• After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the tool with a cloth or the
like. Keep the blade guard clean according to the directions in the
previously covered section titled "Blade guard". Lubricate the sliding
portions with machine oil to prevent rust.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, any other mainte-
nance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized Service Cent-
ers, always using Makita replacement parts.
45° bevel angle
Adjust the 45° bevel angle only after performing 0° bevel angle
adjustment. To adjust left 45° bevel angle, loosen the lever and tilt
the blade to the left fully. Make sure that the pointer on the arm
points to 45° on the bevel scale on the arm. If the pointer does not
point to 45°, turn the 45° bevel angle adjusting bolt on the left side
of the arm until the pointer points to 45°.
