To install the blade, follow the removal procedure in
reverse. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT
COUNTERCLOCKWISE SECURELY.

do not replace the need to check lower guard operation
before each use.

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
connect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the dust
nozzle as shown in the figure.
For tool without dust nozzle provided as a standard
equipment, replace the lever fixed on the lower guard to
the one supplied with the dust nozzle (optional accessory)
at the same time when installing the dust nozzle.
Otherwise you will not be able to make a cut because the
BOLT
lower guard movement is hindered by the dust nozzle.
OPERATION
CAUTION:
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 kickback,
possibly causing severe injury.
