switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before carrying out any work on the tool.
Offset wrench storage
When not in use, store the offset wrench as shown in
the figure to keep it from being lost.

Removing or installing circular saw blade
CAUTION:
Be sure the circular saw blade is
installed with teeth pointing up at the front of the tool.
CAUTION:
Use only the Makita offset wrench
to install or remove the circular saw blade.
To remove the circular saw blade, press the shaft lock
fully so that the circular saw blade cannot revolve and
use the offset wrench to loosen the hex bolt. Then
remove the hex bolt, outer flange, circular saw blade
and ring (country specific).

To install the circular saw blade, follow the removal
procedure in reverse.
Align the direction of the arrow on the circular saw blade
with the arrow on the tool.
For tool with the inner flange for
other than 15.88 mm hole-diameter
saw blade
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 circular saw blade hole perfectly. Mount the
inner flange onto the mounting shaft so that the correct
side of protrusion on the inner flange faces outward and
then place the circular saw blade and outer flange.

WARNING:
BOLT COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be
careful not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your
hand from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
the inner flange that is positioned outside fits into the
saw blade hole "a" perfectly. Mounting the circular saw
blade on the wrong side can result in the dangerous vibration.
For tool with the inner flange for a
15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
(country specific)
Mount the inner flange with its recessed side facing outward
onto the mounting shaft and then place circular saw blade
(with the ring attached if needed), outer flange and hex bolt.

WARNING:
BOLT COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be care-
ful not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand
from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
WARNING:
circular saw 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 circular saw blade causing blade
movement and severe vibration resulting in possible loss of
control during operation and in serious personal injury.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw blade, make sure to
also clean the upper and lower blade guards of accu-
mulated sawdust as discussed in the Maintenance
section. Such efforts do not replace the need to check
lower guard operation before each use.
Installing side grip (handle)
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the side grip is
installed securely before operation.
CAUTION:
Remove the side grip (handle)
when operating bevel cutting. If you operate bevel
cutting with the side grip (handle), it may touch
the workpiece or your body and cause kickback
or personal injury.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to hit your fingers
against the side grip (handle) when opening/clos-
ing the lower guard.
The side grip (handle) is helpful for holding and carrying the tool.
To install the side grip (handle), screw the side grip
securely on the position of the tool as shown in the
figure.
