FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before adjusting or
checking function on the tool. Failure to switch off
and unplug the tool may result in serious personal
injuryfromaccidentalstart-up.
Blade guard
►Fig.8: 1. Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-
matically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised.
WARNING: Never defeat or remove the blade
guard or the spring which attaches to the guard.
An exposed blade as a result of defeated guarding
mayresultinseriouspersonalinjuryduringoperation.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.
WARNING: Never use the tool if the blade
guard or spring are damaged, faulty or removed.
Operation of the tool with a damaged, faulty or
removedguardmayresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or saw-
dust adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or
workpiece is no longer easily visible, unplug the saw and
clean the guard carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use
solvents or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic
guard because this may cause damage to the guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, unplug the tool and use the sup-
plied wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center
cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclock-
wise and raise the blade guard and center cover. With
the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more
completelyandefcientlyaccomplished.Whencleaning
is complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt.
Do not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard
becomes discolored through age or UV light exposure,
contact a Makita service center for a new guard. DO
NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.

First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (2 each
on left and right) securing the kerf boards until the kerf
boards can still be easily moved by hand. Lower the
handle fully, then pull and turn the stopper pin to lock
the handle in the lowered position. Release the stopper
pin on the sliding pole and pull the carriage toward you
fully.Adjustthekerfboardssothatthekerfboardsjust

Afteradjustingthekerfboards,releasethestopper
pin and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws
securely.
NOTICE: After setting the bevel angle ensure
that the kerf boards are adjusted properly. Correct
adjustmentofthekerfboardswillhelpprovideproper

out.
Maintaining maximum cutting
capacity
Thistoolisfactoryadjustedtoprovidethemaximum
cutting capacity for 255 mm or 260 mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower
