FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on
the tool.
Blade guard
1
001860
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises
automatically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE
BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES
TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular
operation of the blade guard should be corrected
immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return
action of guard. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE
BLADE GUARD OR SPRING ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY
OR REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS
AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or
sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no
longer easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard
carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any
petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, use the supplied socket wrench to
loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover. Loosen the
hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise and raise the
blade guard and center cover. With the blade guard so
positioned, cleaning can be more completely and
efficiently accomplished. When cleaning is complete,
reverse procedure above and secure bolt. Do not
remove spring holding blade guard. If guard becomes
discolored through age or UV light exposure, contact a
Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT
DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.

to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. If the kerf
groove has not yet been cut in the kerf board by the

the tool to cut a workpiece. Switch on the tool and lower
the blade gently to cut a groove in the kerf board.
