When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-
matically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE
BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES
TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.
NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARD OR
SPRING IS DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED.
DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN
CAUSE 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 work-
piece 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.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, use the supplied 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. 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
discolored through age or UV light exposure, contact
a Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT
DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
