Graduation on right side of tool base
The right side of the tool base is graduated in inches. The 0
graduation indicates the position of the blade edge when the
depth of cut is set at the deepest position. Use this gradua-
tion when performing plunge cuts (pocket cutting).
Dust collection
This tool is equipped with the dust box to collect dust and cut
chips. When the dust box is about two thirds full, empty its
contents. To do so, press the lever to unlock the dust cap and
open it. Tip the rear of the tool down to empty the dust box.
Cleaner cutting operations can be performed by connecting
this tool to Makita vacuum cleaner. Remove the rubber cap
from the dust cap and connect the vacuum cleaner hose to
the dust cap.
