Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the tool
consistently fails to quickly stop blade after switch trigger
release, have tool serviced at a Makita service center.
The blade brake system is not a substitute for lower guard.
NEVER USE TOOL WITHOUT A FUNCTIONING LOWER
GUARD. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
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 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.
When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper and
lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust. Such efforts do
not, however, replace the need to check lower guard opera-
tion before each use.
