Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the hex
wrench to loosen the hex socket bolt clockwise. Then
remove the hex socket bolt, outer flange and blade.
NOTE:
In some countries, tools have a ring separated
•
from an inner flange.
If the inner flange is removed be sure to install it
on the spindle with its protrusion facing away from
the blade. If the flange is installed incorrectly the
flange will rub against the machine.

WARNING:
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle,
•
always be sure that the correct inner flange or
ring for the blade's arbor hole you intend to
use is installed. Use of the incorrect inner flange
or ring may result in the improper mounting of the
blade causing blade movement and severe
vibration resulting in possible loss of control during
operation and in serious personal injury.
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the
surface of the blade matches the direction of the arrow
on the blade case.

Install the outer flange and hex socket bolt, and then
use the hex wrench to tighten the hex socket 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 socket bolt clockwise to
secure the center cover. Release the handle from the
raised position by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the
handle to make sure that the blade guard moves
properly. Make sure the shaft lock has released spindle
before making cut.
For model with socket wrench
WARNING:
Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to
•
install or remove the blade. Failure to use the
wrench may result in overtightening or insufficient
tightening of the hex bolt and serious personal
injury.
