Adjusting depth of cut
CAUTION:
• After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the
clamping screw securely.
Loosen the clamping screw on the depth guide and move
the base up or down. You can read the depth of cut by
aligning the top of the notch in the depth guide with the
graduations on its right side. (Note: This can be done for
0°bevel cutting only.) At the desired depth of cut, secure
the base by tightening the clamping screw.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more
than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using
proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous
KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
Bevel cutting
Loosen the clamping screw on the bevel scale plate on
the front of the base. Set for the desired angle (0° - 45°)
by tilting accordingly, then tighten the clamping screw
securely.
Sighting
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
CAUTION:
• Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the switch trigger actuates
properly and returns to the “OFF” position when
released.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, slide
the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger. Release the
switch trigger to stop.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Removing or installing saw blade
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 fully so that the
blade cannot revolve and use the 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.
