1. Installing blades
CAUTION:
Use only Makita socket wrench provided to tighten
•
the blade installation bolts. The use of any other
socket wrench may cause overtightening or
insufficient tightening of the bolts, resulting in
severe injury.
For throw away blades only
Provide a flat wood block approximately 300 mm long
and 100 mm wide. Place the blade and the set plate on
the wood block so that the blade locating lug of the set
plate rests in the groove of the blade. Adjust the set plate
so that both ends of the blade protrude approximately 1
mm beyond the end of the set plate. Place the two
magnetic holders on the set plate and push them until the
claw contacts the blade.

Install the other blade as described above. Rotate the
drum slowly while pressing the lock plate to make sure
there is nothing abnormal. Then install the chip cover and
the side cover.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten the blade installation bolts without
•
the blade locating lug of the set plate correctly
resting in the groove of the blade. This may cause
damage to the blade and potential injury to the
operator.
Do not turn the tool on with the chip cover removed.
•
When installing the chip cover, make sure that the
•
chain is not caught by the chip cover.
For standard blades only
Place the blade on the blade gauge so that the blade
edge is perfectly flush with the inside of the front rib (A).
Place the set plate on the blade, then gently press the
heel of the set plate flush with the back side of the blade
gauge (B). Tighten the screws to secure the set plate to
the blade.
