Installing or removing battery cartridge *Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery cartridge. *To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the cartridge. *To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click.
When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period of time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times.
Socket wrench The socket wrench is stored as shown in the figure. When using the socket wrench, pull it out of the wrench holder. After using the socket wrench, return it to the wrench holder. I Bench mounting saw 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.
Installing or removing saw blade CAUTION: *Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed 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 serious injury to operator or others in the general vicinity of the tool. Lock the handle in the raised position by pushing in the stopper pin.
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle, making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the blade case. Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed) securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock. - Blade case Return the safety cover and center cover to its original position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the center cover.
Dust bag The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and dust collection easy. To attach the dust bag, fit the bag's entry port over 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.
Kerf board Left bevel cut Straight cut CAUTION: After changing the bevel angle, always readjust the kerf boards as described above. Maintaining maximum cutting capacity This tool is factory adjusted to provide the max. cutting capacity for a 216 mm (8-1/2") saw blade. When using a saw blade other than 216 m m (8-1/2") saw blade, adjust the lower limit position of the blade as follows: First, remove the battery cartridge. Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle completely.
Positioningfor adjusting the miter angle The turn base turns up to 52" to the left and 52" to the right. Loosen the grip by turning counterclockwise. Turn the turn base while pressing down the lock lever. When you have moved the grip to the position where the pointer points to the desired angle on the miter scale, securely tighten the grip clockwise.
1. Vertical vise The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the guide fence, or the holder assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence or the holder assembly and tighten the screw to secure the vise rod. (Note: When using the holder assembly, install it on the holder as shown in the figure.) Position the vise arm according to the thickness and shape of the workpiece Turn base and secure the vise arm by tightening the screw.
3. Holders and holder assembly (optional accessories) The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on either side as a convenient means of supporting workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the figures below. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the holders and the holder assembly. Hoider When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder assemblies and two rods 12.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, press in the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop. Lock-of f button I Operation CAUTION: *Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin. *Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on. *Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cutting.
2. Miter cutting Refer to the previously covered "Positioning for adjusting the miter angle". 3. Bevel cutting *At a left 45" bevel angle, workpieces 45 mm (1-3/4") high and 122 mm (4-13/16") wide can be cut. *Loosen the lever and tilt the saw blade to set the bevel angle. Refer to the previously covered "Positioning for adjusting the bevel angle". Be sure to re-tighten the lever firmly to secure the selected bevel angle safely. Secure the workpiece Apply pressure in parallel with blade with the vise.
5. Cutting crown and cover moldings *Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound miter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base. *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 below.
When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevel angle and miter angle as indicated in the table (A)and position the moldings on the top surface of the saw base as indicated in the table (B).

6. Cutting repetitive lengths When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length, ranging from 220 mm (8-5/8") to 365 mm (14-3/8"), use of the set plate (optional accessory) will facilitate more efficient operation. Install the set plate on the holder as shown in the figure. Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either the left or right side of the groove in the kerf board, and while holding the workpiece from moving, move the set plate flush against the end of the workpiece.
MAINTENANCE CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance. Adjusting the cutting angle This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned a t the factory, but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following: 1) Miter angle Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten the clamp screw to secure the carriage.
Make sure that the pointer points to 0" on the miter scale. .If the pointer does not point to 0", loosen the screw which secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so that it will point to 0". I I Miter.scale 2) Bevel angle i) 0" bevel angle Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten the clamp screw to secure the carriage. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by pushing in the lock pin. Loosen the lever at the rear of the tool.
Make sure that the pointer on the arm points to 0" on the bevel scale on the arm holder. If it does not point to 0", loosen the screw which secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so that it will point to 0". ii) 45" bevel angle Adjust the 45" bevel angle only after performing 0" bevel angle adjustment. To adjust left 45" bevel angle, loosen the lever and tilt the blade 45" to the left. Make sure that the pointer on the arm points to 45" on the bevel scale on the arm holder.
