Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to
•
install or remove the blade. Failure to do so may
result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of
the hex bolt. This could cause an injury.
Lock the handle in the raised position by pushing in the
stopper pin.
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen
the hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it
counterclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center
cover.

arbor hole of the blade you intend to use is installed
onto the spindle.

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 adhering 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.
