CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch lever actuates properly and returns
to the “OFF” position.
This tool is equipped with a special type of switch to pre-
vent unintentional starting. To start the tool, first depress
the switch lever. While keeping it depressed, pull its lower
portion toward you. To stop the tool, press the lower por-
tion of the switch lever.
When operating the switch lever, it is convenient to view it
through the window area in the table.
CAUTION:
• When not using the tool, remove the key and store
it in a secure place. This prevents unauthorized
operation.
• Do not pull the switch lever hard without the key.
This can cause breakage of the switch.

Installing or removing saw blade
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
• Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to
install or remove the blade. Failure to do so may
result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of
the hex bolt. This could cause an injury.
Remove the table insert on the table. Hold the outer
flange with the offset wrench and loosen the hex nut
counterclockwise with the wrench. Then remove the
outer flange.
Assemble the inner flange, blade, outer flange and hex
nut onto the arbor, making sure that the teeth of the blade
are pointing down at the front of the table. Always install
the hex nut with its recessed side facing the outer flange.
CAUTION:
• Keep the flange surface clean of dirt or other
adhering matter; it could cause blade slippage. Be
sure that the blade is installed so that the teeth are
aligned in the cutting (turning) direction.
To secure the blade in place, hold the outer flange with
the offset wrench, then tighten the hex nut clockwise with
the wrench. BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE HEX NUT
SECURELY.
