base all the way forward and fit it from the back of tool
base. When you use the cover plate, install the anti-splin-
tering device onto the cover plate.

making bevel cuts.
Cover plate
Use the cover plate when cutting decorative veneers,
plastics, etc. It protects sensitive or delicate surfaces
from damage. Fit it on the back of the tool base.

The dust nozzle (optional accessory) is recommended to
perform clean cutting operations.
To attach the dust nozzle on the tool, insert the hook of
dust nozzle into the hole in the base.
The dust nozzle can be installed on either left or right
side of the base.
Then connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to the dust noz-
zle.
