Slip the pin on the blade guard into the slot in the guide arm while returning the
blade guard to its original fully closed position. Then tighten the hex bolt clock-
wise to secure the center cover. Lower the handle to make sure that the blade
guard moves properly. Make sure shaft lock has released spindle before mak-
ing cut.
Dust bag
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 collec-
tion.
NOTE:
If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and
cleaner operations can be performed.
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 damaged
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.
