The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.

When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles adhering to the insides which might hamper further collection.

CAUTION:

•The silver ring 25.4 mm in outer diameter is

factory-installed onto the spindle. The black ring 25

mmin outer diameter is included as standard equipment. Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always be sure that the correct ring for the arbor hole of the blade you intend to use is installed onto the spindle.

For European countries

•The ring 30 mm in outer diameter is factory-installed between the inner and outer

flanges.

Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed) securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock. Return the blade guard and center cover to its original position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the center cover. Lower the handle to make sure that the blade guard moves properly. Make sure shaft lock has released spindle before making cut.

NOTE:

If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.

Securing workpiece

WARNING:

•It is extremely important to always secure the workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or the workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a complete stop.

CAUTION:

•	When cutting long workpieces, use supports that
	are as high as the top surface level of the turn base.
	Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/or
	horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
	Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over
	its entire length to avoid blade pinch and possible
	KICKBACK.
