To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

Always  be  sure  that  the  tool  is  switched  off  and  unplugged  before

carrying out any work on the tool.

Removing or installing saw blade

CAUTION:

Be  sure  the  blade  is  installed  with  teeth  pointing  up  at  the  front  of  the

tool.

Use only the Makita wrench to install or remove the blade.

To remove the blade, press the shaft lock so that the blade cannot revolve and

use the wrench to loosen the hex bolt counterclockwise. Then remove the hex

bolt, outer flange and blade.

To  install  the  blade,  follow  the  removal  procedure  in  reverse.  BE  SURE  TO

TIGHTEN THE HEX BOLT CLOCKWISE SECURELY.
When changing blade, make sure to also clean upper and lower blade guards

of  accumulated  sawdust.  Such  efforts  do  not,  however,  replace  the  need  to

check lower guard operation before each use.

CAUTION:

The  inner  flange  has  a  20  mm  diameter  on  one  side  and  a  19  mm

diameter on the other. The side with 19 mm diameter is marked by 

19

.

Use the correct side for the hole diameter of the blade you intend to use.

Mounting  the  blade  on  the  wrong  side  can  result  in  the  dangerous

vibration.
