WARNING:
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX
BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be careful
not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand
from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
If the ring is needed to mount the
blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the
correct ring for the blade's arbor hole you intend
to use is installed between the inner and the outer
flanges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole ring may
result in the improper mounting of the blade causing
blade movement and severe vibration resulting in
possible loss of control during operation and in seri-
ous personal injury.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the upper and lower blade guards of accu-
mulated sawdust as discussed in the Maintenance
section. Such efforts do not replace the need to check
lower guard operation before each use.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
Optional accessory
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Connect
a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle using
the front cuff 24.

the dust nozzle.
When operating the tool without connecting a vacuum
cleaner, bring the dust nozzle downward to prevent the
operator from being exposed to sawdust.
When operating the tool with connecting a vacuum cleaner,
bring the dust nozzle upward to keep the hose of the vacuum
cleaner from getting caught in the workpiece or the guide rail.

OPERATION
This tool is intended to cut wood products. With appropriate Makita
genuine circular saw blades, following materials can also be sawed:
•
Aluminum products
•
Mineral contained plastic
Refer to our website or contact your local Makita dealer for the
correct circular saw blades to be used for the material to be cut.
CAUTION:
avoid melting it by overheating of the blade tip.
Checking blade guard function
Set the bevel angle to 0°, and then retract the lower
guard manually to the end and release it. The lower
guard is properly functioning if;
it is retracted above the base without any hindrance and;
—
it automatically returns and contacts with the stopper.
