18. Be sure that the blade does not contact the

turn base in the lowest position.

19. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw

moves up or down slightly during start-up and

stopping.

20. Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

21. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,

let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or

wobbling that could indicate poor installation

or a poorly balanced blade.

22. Wait until the blade attains full speed before

cutting.

23. Stop operation immediately if you notice

anything abnormal.

24. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on

position.

25. Be alert at all times, especially during

repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be

extremely unforgiving.

26. Always use accessories recommended in this

manual. Use of improper accessories such as

abrasive wheels may cause an injury.

27. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,

aluminum or similar materials.

28. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device

when sawing.

29. Select saw blades in relation to the material to

be cut.

30. Take care when slotting.

31. Replace the kerf board when worn.

32. Do not use saw blades manufactured from

high speed steel.

33. Some dust created from operation contains

chemicals known to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm. Some

examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based-painted material and,

•

arsenic and chromium from

chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies,

depending on how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to these

chemicals: work in a well ventilated area

and work with approved safety equipment,

such as those dust masks that are

specially designed to filter out

microscopic particles.

34. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure

that the blade is sharp and clean.

35. The operator is adequately trained in the use,

adjustment and operation of the machine.

36. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe

the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.

37. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other

parts of the workpiece from the cutting area

whilst the tool is running and the saw head is

not in the rest position.

38. Use only saw blades recommended by the

manufacturer which conform to EN847-1.

39. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw

blades shall be carried in a holder wherever

practicable) and rough material.

40. When fitted with laser, no exchange with

different type of laser is permitted. Repairs

shall only be carried out correctly.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

INSTALLATION

Bench mounting

Fig.1

When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the

lowered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper

pin by simultaneously applying a slight downward

pressure on the handle and pulling the stopper pin.

Fig.2

This tool should be bolted with four bolts to a level and

stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool's

base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

WARNING:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before adjusting or checking

function on the tool. Failure to switch off and

unplug the tool may result in serious personal injury

from accidental start-up.

Blade guard

Fig.3

When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises

automatically. The blade guard returns to its original

position when the cut is completed and the handle is

raised.

WARNING:

• Never defeat or remove the blade guard or the

spring which attaches to the guard. An exposed

blade as a result of defeated guarding may result in

serious personal injury during operation.

In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain

the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular

operation of the blade guard should be corrected

11

immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return action

of guard.

WARNING:

• Never use the tool if the blade guard or spring

are damaged, faulty or removed. Operation of

the tool with a damaged, faulty or removed guard

may result in serious personal injury.

If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or

sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade

and/or workpiece is no longer easily visible, unplug the

saw and clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do

not use solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on

the plastic guard because this may cause damage to

the guard.

If the blade guard becomes dirty and needs to be

cleaned for proper operation follow the steps below:

With the tool switched off and unplugged, use the

supplied socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the

center cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it

counterclockwise and raise the blade guard and center

cover.

Fig.4

With the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be

more completely and efficiently accomplished. When

cleaning is complete reverse procedure above and

secure bolt. Do not remove spring holding blade guard.

If guard becomes damaged through age or UV light

exposure, contact a Makita service center for a new

guard.

DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.

Positioning kerf board

Fig.5

Fig.6

This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base

to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The kerf

boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade does

not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf

boards as follows:

First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (3 each on

left and right) securing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them

only to the extent that the kerf boards can still be easily

moved by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the

stopper pin to lock the handle in the lowered position.

Loosen the screw which secures the slide poles. Pull

the carriage toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards so

that the kerf boards just contact the sides of the blade

teeth. Tighten the front screws (do not tighten firmly).

Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and

adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards just

contact the sides of blade teeth. Tighten the rear screws

(do not tighten firmly).

After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin

and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws

securely.

NOTICE:

• After setting the bevel angle ensure that the

kerf boards are adjusted properly. Correct

adjustment of the kerf boards will help provide

proper support of the workpiece minimizing

workpiece tear out.

Maintaining maximum cutting capacity

This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum

cutting capacity for a 255 mm saw blade.

Unplug the tool before any adjustment is attempted.

When installing a new blade, always check the lower

limit position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as

follows:

Fig.7

Fig.8

First, unplug the tool. Push the carriage toward the guide

fence fully and lower the handle completely. Use the hex.

wrench to turn the adjusting bolt until the periphery of the

blade extends slightly below the top surface of the turn

base at the point where the front face of the guide fence

meets the top surface of the turn base.

With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while

holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the

blade does not contact any part of the lower base.

Re-adjust slightly, if necessary.

WARNING:

• After installing a new blade and with the tool

unplugged, always be sure that the blade does

not contact any part of the lower base when the

handle is lowered completely. If a blade makes

contact with the base it may cause kickback and

result in serious personal injury.

Stopper arm

Fig.9

The lower limit position of the blade can be easily

adjusted with the stopper arm. To adjust it, move the

stopper arm in the direction of the arrow as shown in the

figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops

at the desired position when lowering the handle fully.

Adjusting the miter angle

Fig.10

Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the

turn base while pressing down the lock lever. When you

have moved the grip to the position where the pointer

points to the desired angle on the miter scale, securely

tighten the grip clockwise.

CAUTION:

• After changing the miter angle, always secure the

turn base by tightening the grip firmly.

NOTICE:

• When turning the turn base, be sure to raise the

handle fully.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:

• It is extremely important to always secure the

workpiece correctly with the proper type of

vise or crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so

may result in serious personal injury and cause

damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.

• After a cutting operation do not raise the blade

until it has come to a complete stop. The raising

of a coasting blade may result in serious personal

injury and damage to the workpiece.

•

When cutting a workpiece that is longer than

the support base of the saw, the material

should be supported the entire length beyond

the support base and at the same height to

keep the material level.

Proper workpiece

support will help avoid blade pinch and possible

kickback which may result in serious personal

injury. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or

horizontal vise to secure the workpiece. Thin

material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its

entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible

KICKBACK.

tool control. Proper workpiece support will help

avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may

result in serious personal injury.

OPERATION

NOTICE:

• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the

lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.

• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle

when cutting. Too much force may result in

overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting

16

efficiency. Push down handle with only as much

force as is necessary for smooth cutting and

without significant decrease in blade speed.

• Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If

the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral

force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a

mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision

of the cut will be impaired.

• During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward

the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage

movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be

left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will

be impaired.

WARNING:

• Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.

Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the

workpiece may result in kickback and serious

personal injury.

operating the tool ensure that the carriage and

blade will have free travel throughout the entire

range of the intended cut. Interruption of the

carriage or blade travel during the cutting operation

may result in kickback and serious personal injury.

• While making a bevel cut keep hands out of the

path of the blade. The angle of the blade may

confuse the operator as to the actual blade path

while cutting and contact with the blade will result in

serious personal injury.

• The blade should not be raised until it has

come to a complete stop. During a bevel cut the

piece cut off may come to rest against the blade. If

the blade is raised while it is rotating the cut-off

piece maybe ejected by the blade causing the

material to fragment which may result in serious

personal injury.

NOTICE:

• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure in

parallel with the blade. If a force is applied

perpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressure

direction is changed during a cut, the precision of

the cut will be impaired.

• Before bevel-cutting, an adjustment of the upper

fence and lower fence maybe required. Refer to

the section titled "Guide fence adjustment".

CAUTION:

• Always remove the sub-fence R so that it does not

interfere any part of the carriage when performing
