MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and the battery cartridge is removed
before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
CAUTION:
Clean out the upper and lower
guards to ensure there is no accumulated saw-
dust which may impede the operation of the lower
guarding system. A dirty guarding system may limit
the proper operation which could result in serious
personal injury. The most effective way to accomplish
this cleaning is with compressed air. If the dust is
being blown out of the guards, be sure the proper
eye and breathing protection is used.
CAUTION:
After each use, wipe off the saw
dust on the tool. Fine saw dust may come inside the
tool and cause malfunction or a fire.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY,
repairs, any other maintenance or adjustment should
be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service
Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
Adjusting 0°-cut or 45°-cut accuracy
This adjustment has been made at the factory. But if it is
off, you can adjust it as the following procedure.
1.
Loosen the clamping screws on the front and rear
of the tool so that the bevel angle can be changed. Set
the stopper to 0° - 45° bevel angle position if you are
going to adjust 45°-cut accuracy.

2. Make the base perpendicular or 45° to the circular

ing screw with a hex wrench. You can also use a square
rule to adjust 0° angle.
