CAUTION:
• The inner flange has a 25 mm (63/64") diameter on one
side and a 25.4 mm (1") diameter on the other. The side
with 25.4 mm (1") diameter is marked by "25.4". Use the
correct side for the hole diameter of the blade you intend
to use. Mounting the blade on the wrong side can result
in dangerous vibration.
Slip the pin on the blade guard into the slot in the guide arm

while returning the blade guard to its original fully closed
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the
center cover. Lower the handle to make sure that the blade
guard moves properly. Make sure shaft lock has released
spindle before making cut.
Dust bag
002157
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and
dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto 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.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece
properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to do so can
cause the tool to be damaged and/or the workpiece to
be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT.
Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade
until the blade has come to a complete stop.
