Operation - Makita 5008MG Instruction Manual

Bevel cutting
Fig.2
Positive stopper
Turn the positive stopper so that the arrow on it points
one of three positions (22.5°,45°,50°). Then, tilt the tool
base until it stops and secure the base with the lever. At
this time, the same angle as the one that the arrow
points is obtained.
Setting bevel angle
Loosen the lever and tentatively set the tool base at the
0°bevel angle, then tighten the lever securely.
Turn the positive stopper so that the arrow on it points
one of three positions (22.5°,45°,50°) that is equal to or
greater than the desired bevel angle.
Loosen the lever again and then tilt and secure the tool
base at the desired angle securely.
NOTE:
When changing the positive stopper's position,
•
loosening the lever and tilting the bevel angle to
less than the desired stopper position number
allows to change it.
When the arrow on the positive stopper points 22.5,
•
the bevel angle can be adjusted 0 - 22.5°;when the
arrow points 45, it can be adjusted 0 - 45°; when
the arrow points 50, it can be adjusted 0 - 50°.
Sighting
Fig.3
For straight cuts, align the A position on the front of the
base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the
B position with it.
Switch action
Fig.4
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
•
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
Lighting the lamp
Fig.5
CAUTION:
Do not apply impact to the lamp, which may cause
•
damage or shorted service time to it.
Do not look in the light or see the source of light
•
directly.
The lamp lights up when the tool is plugged. The lamp
keeps on lighting until the tool is unplugged.
If the lamp does not light up, the mains cord or the lamp
may be defective. The lamp is lit but the tool does not
start even if the tool is switched on, the carbon brushes
may be worn out, or the motor or the ON/OFF switch
may be defective.
NOTE:
Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp.
•
Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may
lower the illumination.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Hex wrench storage
Fig.6
Hex wrench is stored on the tool. To remove hex wrench,
rotate it toward yourself and pull it out.
To install hex wrench, place it on the handle and turn it
until it comes into contact with the protrusion on the
handle.
Removing or installing saw blade
Fig.7
CAUTION:
Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing up
•
at the front of the tool.
Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the
•
blade.
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the
blade cannot revolve and use the hex wrench to loosen
the hex bolt counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt,
outer flange and blade.
To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in
reverse. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT
CLOCKWISE SECURELY.
Fig.8
When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper
and lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such
efforts do not, however, replace the need to check lower
guard operation before each use.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
Fig.9
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install the
joint on the tool using the screws. Then connect a hose
of the vacuum cleaner to the joint as shown in the figure.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line
•
gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in
overheating the motor and dangerous kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
