ative switch is HIGHLY DANGEROUS and must be
repaired before further usage or serious personal
injury may occur.

Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric blade brake. If the
tool consistently fails to quickly stop the blade after the
switch trigger is released, have the tool serviced at a
Makita service center.
CAUTION:
The blade brake system is not a
substitute for the blade guard. Never use tool
without a functioning blade guard. An unguarded
blade may result in serious personal injury.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before installing or
removing the blade.
CAUTION:
Use only the Makita wrench pro-
vided to install or remove the blade. Failure to
do so may result in overtightening or insufficient
tightening of the hex bolt. This could cause an
injury.
When removing or installing the blade, keep the handle
in the raised position.
To remove the blade, use the wrench to loosen the hex
bolt holding the center cover by turning it counterclock-
wise. Raise the blade guard and center cover.
