Dust bag
001536
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and
dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, insert the dust
nozzle into the dust spout on the blade case and fit the bag's
entry port over 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 adher-
ing to the insides which might hamper further collection.
NOTE:
If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw, more
efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.

solely on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to
