The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean
and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit it onto
the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust
bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove
particles adhering to the insides which might hamper
further collection.
NOTE:
• If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this tool,
more efficient and cleaner operations can be
performed.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure
to do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or
the workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONAL
INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cutting
operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade
has come to a complete stop.
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
