Sighting
Fig.8
For straight cuts, align the 0° position on the front of the
base with your cutting line. For 45° bevel cuts, align the
45° position with it. The position of the top guide is
adjustable.
Lighting the lamp
CAUTION:
Do not look in the lamp or see the source of lamp
•
directly.
Fig.9
Only to turn on the lamp, pull the switch trigger without
pressing the lock-off lever. To turn on the lamp and run
the tool, press the lock-off lever and pull the switch
trigger with pressing the lock-off lever. The lamp keeps
on lighting while the switch trigger is being pulled. The
lamp goes out 10 -15 seconds after releasing the trigger.
NOTE:
Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp.
•
Be careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it
may lower the illumination.
Do not use gasoline, thinner or the like to clean
•
the lens of lamp. Using such substances will
damage the lens.
Hook
CAUTION:
Always remove the battery when hanging the tool
•
with the hook.
Never hook the tool at high location or on
•
potentially unstable surface.
Fig.10
The hook is convenient for hanging the tool temporarily.
To use the hook, simply turn it until it snaps into the
open position.
When not in use, always turn the hook until it snaps into
the closed position.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
•
battery cartridge is removed before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Removing or installing saw blade
CAUTION:
Be sure the blade is installed with teeth pointing
•
up at the front of the tool.
Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove
•
the blade.
Fig.11
To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the
blade cannot revolve and use the wrench to loosen the
hex bolt clockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer
flange and blade.
Fig.12
To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in
reverse. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT
COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY.
When changing blade, make sure to also clean the
upper and lower blade guards of accumulated sawdust
as discussed in the Maintenance section. Such efforts
do not replace the need to check lower guard operation
before each use.
For tool with the inner flange for other than 15.88
mm hole-diameter saw blade
CAUTION:
Make sure that the protrusion "a" on the inner
•
flange that is positioned outside fits into the
saw blade hole "a" perfectly. Mounting the blade
on the wrong side can result in the dangerous
vibration.
Fig.13
The inner flange has a certain diameter protrusion on
one side of it and a different diameter protrusion on the
other side. Choose a correct side on which protrusion
fits into the saw blade hole perfectly.
Next, mount the inner flange onto the mounting shaft so
that the correct side of protrusion on the inner flange
faces outward and then place saw blade and outer
flange.
BE SURE TO
COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY.
For tool with the inner flange for a 15.88 mm hole-
diameter saw blade (country specific)
Fig.14
Fig.15
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing
outward onto the mounting shaft and then place saw
blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer flange
and hex bolt.
BE SURE TO
COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY.
WARNING:
Before mounting the blade onto the spindle,
•
always be sure that the correct ring for the
blade's arbor hole you intend to use is
installed between the inner and the outer
flanges. Use of the incorrect arbor hole 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.
