Blade guard
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
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.
CAUTION:
Always maintain the blade guard
in good condition for safe operation. Stop the
operation immediately if there are any irregularity
of the blade guard. Check to assure spring loaded
return action of guard.
► Fig.10: 1. Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard raises
automatically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised.
Cleaning
► Fig.11: 1. Blade guard
If the transparent blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or workpiece
is no longer easily visible, remove the battery cartridge 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.
For cleaning, raise the blade guard by referring to
"Installing or removing saw blade".
After cleaning, make sure to return the blade and center
cover and tighten the hex socket bolt.
1. Make sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridges are removed.
2. Turn the hex socket bolt counterclockwise using
the supplied hex wrench with holding the center cover.
3. Raise the blade guard and center cover.
4.
When cleaning is complete, return the center
cover and tighten the hex socket bolt by performing the
steps above in reverse.
WARNING:
blade guard. If guard becomes damaged in course
of time or UV light exposure, contact a Makita ser-
vice center for replacement. DO NOT DEFEAT OR
REMOVE GUARD.
Positioning kerf board
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn
base to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The
kerf boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade
does not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the
kerf boards as follows:
1. Make sure to remove the battery cartridge. Then,
loosen all the screws (2 each on left and right) securing
the kerf boards.
► Fig.12: 1. Kerf board 2. Screw
2. Re-tighten them only to the extent that the kerf
boards can still be easily moved by hand.
