► 1. Hose 2. Vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean cutting operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install
the dust nozzle on the tool using the screw. Then con-
nect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle as
shown in the figure.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Always insert the battery cartridge all the way
until it locks in place. If you can see the red
indicator on the upper side of the button, it is
not locked completely. Insert it fully until the red
indicator cannot be seen. If not, it may acciden-
tally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or
someone around you.
• 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.
• If the tool is operated continuously until the
battery cartridge has discharged, allow the tool
to rest for 15 minutes before proceeding with a
fresh battery.
► 1. Rear handle 2. Front grip 3. 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 base on the workpiece to be cut without
the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and
wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply move

the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping
it flat and advancing smoothly until the sawing is com-
pleted.
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 wood dust being ejected
from saw. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.
Rip fence (Guide rule)

► 1. Clamping screw 2. Rip fence (Guide rule)
The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the screw on the front of the base. It also
makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before attempt-
ing to perform inspection or maintenance.
• Clean out the upper and lower guards to
ensure there is no accumulated sawdust
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.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
