For tool with the inner flange for
15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
Country specific
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing
outward onto the mounting shaft and then place circu-
lar saw blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer
flange and hex bolt.

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.
For tool with the inner flange for
other than 20 mm or 15.88 mm hole-
diameter saw blade
Country specific
The inner flange has a certain diameter of a blade
mounting part on one side of it and a different diameter
of blade mounting part on the other side. Choose a
correct side on which blade mounting part fits into the
saw blade hole perfectly.

CAUTION:
Make sure that the blade mounting
part "a" on the inner flange that is positioned
outside fits into the saw blade hole "a" perfectly.
Mounting the blade on the wrong side can result in
the dangerous vibration.
Returning the blade guard
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex socket bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover. Release the handle from the
raised position by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the
handle to make sure that the blade guard moves prop-
erly. Make sure shaft lock has released spindle before
making cut.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner.

Dust bag (optional accessory)

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 collection.
Dust box (Optional accessory)
► Fig.35: 1. Dust box 2. Cover 3. Button
Insert the dust box into the dust nozzle.
Empty the dust box at the earliest possible.
To empty the dust box, open the cover by pushing the
button and throw away sawdust. Return the cover to
the original position and it locks. Dust box can easily
be removed by pulling out while turning it near the dust
nozzle on the tool.
CAUTION:
• Empty the dust box before collected sawdust
level reaches the cylinder part.

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 dam-
aged 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.
CAUTION:
• When cutting long workpieces, use supports
that are as high as the top surface level of the
turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise
and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the
holder assembly. Insert the vise rod into the hole in
the guide fence or the holder assembly and tighten the
screw to secure the vise rod.
