1. KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the owner’s manual carefully. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it. 12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool. 2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order. 13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 3. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES.
23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.
4. Do not perform any operation freehand. The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base and guide fence with a vise during all operations. Never use your hand to secure the workpiece. 5. Never reach around saw blade. 6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings. 7. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing. 8. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation. 9.
28. Always use accessories recommended in this manual. Use of improper accessories such as abrasive wheels may cause an injury. 30. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord away from heat, oil, water and sharp objects. 29. NEVER hold workpiece on right side of blade with left hand or vice versa. This is called cross-armed cutting and exposes user to risk of SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY as shown in the figure. ALWAYS use vise to secure workpiece. 31.
INSTALLATION Bench mounting 002168 When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the lowered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper pin by lowering the handle slightly and pulling the stopper pin. 002169 This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level and stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’s base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury. 1 1. Stopper Pin 1 1.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust adheres to it in such a way that the blade 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. 001782 1 1. Blade guard 002170 If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through the guard is impaired, use the supplied socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover.
002171 2 1 1. Turn base 2. Adjusting bolt 001540 2 1 Maintaining maximum cutting capacity This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting capacity for a 255 mm (10”) saw blade. When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows: First, unplug the tool. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle completely.
002173 1 Adjusting the bevel angle To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of the tool counterclockwise. Push the handle to the left to tilt the saw blade until the pointer points to the desired angle on the bevel scale. Then tighten the lever clockwise firmly to secure the arm. 2 1. Arm 2. Lever 002174 1 2 • 3 • After changing the bevel angle, always secure the arm by tightening the lever clockwise.
• For your safety, this tool is equipped with a lock-off button which prevents the tool from unintended starting. NEVER use the tool if it runs when you simply pull the switch trigger without pressing the lock-off button. Return tool to a Makita service center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage. • NEVER tape down or defeat purpose and function of lock-off button.

001549 1 • 2 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. 1. Support 2.
002246 2 When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder assemblies and two rods 12. • 1 1. Holder assembly 2. Rod 12 OPERATION • 002177 CAUTION: Always support long workpieces level with the top surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool. CAUTION: Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• 002178 CAUTION: Firmly tighten the clamp screw on the turn base clockwise so that the carriage will not move during operation. Insufficient tightening may cause unexpected kickback of the blade. Possible serious PERSONAL INJURY may result. 2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces) Loosen the clamp screw on the turn base counterclockwise so that the carriage can slide freely. Secure the workpiece with the vise. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
002179 4. Bevel cut Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle (Refer to the previously covered “Adjusting the bevel angle”). Be sure to retighten the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the workpiece with a vise. Make sure the carriage is pulled all the way back toward the operator. Switch on the tool without the blade making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed.
6. Cutting crown and cove moldings Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound miter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base. 001555 52∞ 38∞ 45∞ 45∞ 45∞ 1 There are two common types of crown moldings and one type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall angle cove molding. See illustrations. 45∞ 2 3 1. 52/38° type crown molding 2. 45° type crown molding 3. 45° type cove molding 001556 (1) (2) (3) (4) Fig.A 1 2 1.
Example: In the case of cutting 52/38° type crown molding for position (1) in Fig. A: • Tilt and secure bevel angle setting to 33.9° LEFT. • Adjust and secure miter angle setting to 31.6° RIGHT. • Lay crown molding with its broad back (hidden) surface down on the turn base with its CEILING CONTACT EDGE against the guide fence on the saw. • The finished piece to be used will always be on the LEFT side of the blade after the cut has been made.
