Switch action
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released. (Fig. 1)
The lock-off button and the trigger in the handle must be
pressed for the tool to be activated. You can stop the
motor by releasing the trigger.
CAUTION:
• Be sure the switch operates properly. It should turn the
tool on and return to the "off" position after being
released.
• When not using the tool, remove the lock-off button.
This prevents unauthorized operation.
Positioning the spark chute (Fig. 2)
To prevent sparks from flying around, raise the spark
chute slightly so that point A will be below the base top
indicated.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to adjust the spark chute as mentioned above
before operation. Failure to do so will cause more

Setting the cutting angle (Fig. 7)
To change the cutting angle, loosen the hex bolts with the
socket wrench as shown, then move the guide to the
desired angle. At 60-230 mm (2-3/8" - 9") position, the
guide cannot be angle to allow 45° cuts.
CAUTION:
• Tighten the hex bolts securely.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing cut-off wheel (Fig. 8)
1. To install a wheel, loosen the thumb bolt and lift up the
center cap with the knob.
2. Press stopper in the direction of the arrow. Loosen the
hex bolt with the socket wrench by turning it
counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer
flange and wheel. (Fig. 9)
3. To install the wheel, follow the removal procedure in
reverse. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT
SECURELY. Secure center cap carefully with thumb

Adjusting stopper plate
The stopper plate prevents the wheel from contacting the
surface of the bench floor.
1. When the new wheel is installed, set the stopper plate
as shown in the figure and tighten the thumb bolt.
(Fig. 3)
2. When the wheel wears down to below 355 mm (14") in
diameter, set the stopper plate as shown in the figure
and tighten the thumb bolt. (Fig. 4)
3. When the wheel wears down to below 305 mm (12") in
diameter, set the stopper plate as shown in the figure
and tighten the thumb bolt. (Fig. 5)
Changing the width between vise and
guide (Fig. 6)
Changing guide position to accommodate larger
workpiece as shown, the socket wrench can be used to
remove the hex bolts and move the guide. The following
interval settings are possible:

CAUTION:
• When installing the wheel, make sure that Makita mark
on the wheel faces you on the outside.
• Use only Makita socket wrench to remove or install the
wheel.
Storing socket wrench (Fig. 10)
The socket wrench can be conveniently stored in the
location as indicated.
Securing workpiece (Fig. 11)
By turning the vise handle counterclockwise and then
flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released from
the shaft threads and can be moved rapidly in and out. To
grip workpieces, push the vise handle until the vise plate
contacts the workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the right and
then turn the vise handle clockwise to securely retain the
workpiece.
CAUTION:
• Always set the vise nut to the right fully when securing
the workpiece. Failure to do so may result in insufficient
securing of the workpiece. This could cause the
workpiece to be ejected or cause a dangerous
breakage of the wheel.
When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably, use
a spacer block of sturdy, non-flammable material behind
