The tool is intended for performing lengthways and crossways straight cuts and mitre cuts with angles in wood while in firm contact with the workpiece. With appropriate Makita genuine saw blades, other materials can also be sawed.
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire.
Switching operations of electric apparatus cause voltage fluctuations. The operation of this device under unfavorable mains conditions can have adverse effects to the operation of other equipment. With a mains impedance equal or less than 0.28 Ohms it can be presumed that there will be no negative effects. The mains socket used for this device must be protected with a fuse or protective circuit breaker having slow tripping characteristics.
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according to 62841-2-5:
Sound pressure level (LpA): 94 dB(A)
Sound power level (LWA): 105 dB (A)
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB(A)
Wear ear protection.
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to 62841-2-5:
Work mode: cutting wood
Vibration emission (ah, W): 2.5 m/s2 or less
Uncertainty (K): 1.5 m/s2
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has been measured in accordance with the standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
NOTE: The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared emission value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Additional safety warnings
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
After adjusting the depth of cut, always tighten the lever securely.
Loosen the lever on the depth guide and move the base up or down. At the desired depth of cut, secure the base by tightening the lever.
For cleaner, safer cuts, set cut depth so that no more than one blade tooth projects below workpiece. Using proper cut depth helps to reduce potential for dangerous KICKBACKS which can cause personal injury.
After adjusting the bevel angle, always tighten the lever and clamping screw securely.
Loosen the lever and clamping screw. Set for the desired angle by tilting accordingly, then tighten the lever and clamping screw securely.
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.
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
For tool with lock-off button
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, press the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
NEVER defeat the lock-off button by taping down or some other means. A switch with a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional operation and serious personal injury.
NEVER use the tool if it runs when you simply pull the switch trigger without pressing the lock-off button. A switch in need of repair may result in unintentional operation and serious personal injury. Return tool to a Makita service center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
NOTICE: Do not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing in the lock-off button. This can cause switch breakage.
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Be sure the circular saw blade is installed with teeth pointing up at the front of the tool.
Use only the Makita 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 wrench to loosen the hex bolt counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, ring (country specific), outer flange and circular saw blade.
For tool without the ring
For tool with the ring
To install the circular saw blade, follow the removal procedure in reverse.
For tool with the inner flange for other than 15.88 mm hole-diameter saw blade
Mount the inner flange onto the mounting shaft so that the protrusion on the inner flange faces outward and then place saw blade and outer flange.
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be careful not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
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 saw blade (with the ring attached if needed), outer flange and hex bolt.
For tool without the ring
For tool with the ring
BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY. Also be careful not to tighten the bolt forcibly. Slipping your hand from the hex wrench can cause a personal injury.
If the ring is needed to mount 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.
Blade guard cleaning
When changing the circular saw 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.
When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the figure to keep it from being lost.
Optional accessory
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation, connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool using the dust nozzle.
Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result in overheating the motor and dangerous kickback, possibly causing severe injury.
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the circular saw blade. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the circular saw blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the circular saw blade attains full speed. Now simply move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it fat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed. To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to properly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind the circular saw blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible serious injury. Release switch, wait for circular saw blade to stop and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and wood dust being ejected from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
If the front grip become loose, turn it counterclockwise to tighten.
Optional accessory
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with the clamping screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Clean out the guard to ensure there is no accumulated sawdust and chips which may impede the operation of the guarding system. A dirty guarding system may limit the proper operation which could result in serious personal injury. The most effective way to accomplish this cleaning is with compressed air. If the dust is being blown out of the guard, be sure the proper eye and breathing protection is used.
NOTICE: Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
