WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off
and the battery cartridge is removed before
installing or removing the blade. Accidental
start up of the tool may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
CAUTION:
• Use only the Makita hex wrench provided to
install or remove the blade. Failure to do so may
result in overtightening or insufficient tightening
of the hex socket 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 hex wrench to loosen the
hex socket bolt holding the center cover by turning it

NOTE:
• 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 incor-
rectly the flange will rub against the machine.
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the sur-
face 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.
