19. Stay alert Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. 20. Check damaged parts Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
Installing or removing saw blade Switch action Important: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the blade. CAUTION: • Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released. • When not using the tool, remove the lock-off button and store it in a secure place. This prevents unauthorized operation. • Do not pull the trigger hard without pressing in the lockoff button.
Positioning for adjusting the bevel angle (Fig. 21 & 22) The saw blade tilts up to 45° to the left only when the sub-fence is set to the left position as shown in Fig. 17. To adjust the bevel angle, loosen the lever at the rear of the tool. Tilt the blade to the left so that the pointer indicates the desired angle on the bevel scale. Then tighten the lever firmly to secure the arm. CAUTION: When tilting the saw blade, be sure to raise the handle fully.
3. 4. 5. 6. CAUTION: • When performing the bevel cut with the workpiece secured on the left side of the turn base, it will create a condition where the piece cut off will come to rest on the blade. If the blade is raised while the blade is still rotating, this piece may be caught in the blade, causing fragments to be scattered around which is dangerous. The blade should be gently raised only after the blade has come to a complete stop.
ACCESSORIES CAUTION: These accessories or attachments are recommended for use with your Makita tool specified in this manual.
