CAUTION:
• Use only Makita socket wrench provided to tighten
the blade installation bolts. The use of any other
socket wrench may cause overtightening or insuffi-
cient tightening of the bolts, resulting in severe
injury.
Provide a flat wood block approximately 300 mm (11-13/
16") long and 100 mm (3-15/16") wide. Place the blade
and the set plate on the wood block so that the blade
locating lug of the set plate rests in the groove of the
blade. Adjust the set plate so that both ends of the blade
protrude approximately 1 mm (3/64") beyond the end of
the set plate. Place the two magnetic holders on the set
plate and push them until the claw contacts the blade.
