When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Connect
a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust port as shown
in the figure.
OPERATION
Section cutting (ordinary sawing)
CAUTION:
• Be sure to move the tool forward in a straight
line gently. Forcing or twisting the tool will result
in overheating the motor and dangerous kick-
back, possibly causing severe injury.
• Never approach any part of your body under
the tool base when section cutting, especially at
starting. Doing so may cause serious personal
injuries. The blade is exposed under the tool
base.
Hold the tool firmly. The tool is provided with both a front
grip and rear handle. Use both to best grasp the tool. If
both hands are holding saw, they cannot be cut by the
blade. Set the front of base on the workpiece to be cut
without the blade making any contact. Then push in the
lock-off button and turn the tool on and wait until the
blade attains full speed. Now press down the saw head
slowly to the preset depth of cut and simply move the
tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping it flat
and advancing smoothly until the sawing is completed.
To get clean cuts, keep your sawing line straight and
your speed of advance uniform. If the cut fails to prop-
erly follow your intended cut line, do not attempt to turn
or force the tool back to the cut line. Doing so may bind
the blade and lead to dangerous kickback and possible
serious injury. Release switch, wait for blade to stop
and then withdraw tool. Realign tool on new cut line,
and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which
exposes operator to chips and dust being ejected from
saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
When using with guide rail (accessory)
► 1. Adjusting screws
Place the tool on the rear end of guide rail. Turn two
adjusting screws on the tool base so that the tool slides
smoothly without a clatter. Hold the tool firmly. The tool
is provided with both a front grip and rear handle. Use
both to best grasp the tool. Turn on the tool, press down
the tool to the preset depth of cut and cut the splinter-
guard along the full length with a stroke. The edge of
the splinterguard corresponds to the cutting edge.
When bevel cutting with the guide rail, slide the slide lever on
the tool base so that the tool does not fall down on its side.
► 1. Slide lever
Move the slide lever on the tool base in the direction of arrow
so that it engages the undercut groove in the guide rail.
