CAUTION:
The silver ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is
factory-installed onto the spindle. The black ring 25
mm in outer diameter is included as standard
equipment. Before mounting the blade onto the
spindle, always be sure that the correct ring for the
arbor hole of the blade you intend to use is
installed onto the spindle.
For European countries
The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is
factory-installed between the inner and outer
flanges.
Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the
socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)
securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise 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 making 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 collection.
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.
