Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to

result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of
the hex bolt. This could cause an injury.
Lock the handle in the raised position by pushing in the
stopper pin.

To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen
the hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it
counterclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center
cover.

Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then
remove the hex bolt, outer flange and blade.

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 bolt, and then use the
socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)
securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.

Dust bag (accessory)
Fig.27
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 vacuum cleaner to your saw, more
efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
Dust box (accessory)
Fig.28
Insert the dust box into the dust nozzle.
Empty the dust box at the earliest possible.
To empty the dust box, open the cover by pushing the
button and throw away sawdust. Return the cover to the
original position and it locks. Dust box can easily be
removed by pulling out while turning it near the dust
nozzle on the tool.
NOTE:
If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this tool,
•
more efficient and cleaner operations can be
performed.
CAUTION:
Empty the dust box before collected sawdust level
•
reaches the cylinder part.
