Dust
bag
The use of the dust bag makes cutting
operations clean and dust collection easy.
To attach the dust bag,
fit
the bag's entry
port over 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.
Positioning
kerf
board
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base. The kerf boards are factory
adjusted
so
that the saw blade does not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the
kerf boards as follows:
First, remove the battery cartridge. Loosen the all screws
(2
each on left and right) secur-
ing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them to the extent that the kerf boards can be easily
moved by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the stopper pin to lock the handle in
the lowered position. Pull the carriage
toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards
so
that the kerf boards just contact the sides
of blade teeth slightly. Tighten the front
screws (do not tighten firmly). Push the car-
riage toward the guide fence fully and
adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf
boards just contact the sides of blade teeth
slightly. Tighten the rear screws (do not
tighten firmly). After adjusting the kerf
boards, release the stopper pin and raise
the handle. Then tighten the all screws
securely.
