•Due to our continuing program of research and devel-
opment, the specifications herein are subject to change
without notice.
•Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.
Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter cut-
ting in wood. The tool can be used both in miter saw
mode and in table saw mode by turning over the table
around its axis.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL
ENB094-1
For both miter saw mode and table saw (bench saw)
mode:
1. Wear eye and hearing protection. Other suitable
personal protective equipment should be worn.
2. NEVER wear gloves during operation except for
replacing saw blades or handling rough material
before operation.
3. Keep the floor area around the tool level well
maintained and free of loose materials e.g. chips
and cut-offs.
4. Do not operate saw without guards and riving
knife in place. Check blade guards for proper
closing before each use. Do not operate saw if
blade guards do not move freely and close
instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guards
into the open position. Any irregular operation of
the blade guards should be corrected immedi-
ately.
5. Clean and be careful not to damage the spindle,
flanges (especially the installing surface) and
hex bolt before or when installing the blade.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage. Poor installation may cause vibration/
wobbling or slippage of the blade. Use only
flanges specified for this tool.
6. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Do not use saw blade which
are damaged or deformed.
7. Use only saw blades recommended by the manu-
facturer and which conform to EN847-1, and
observe that the riving knife must not be thicker
than the width of the cut by the saw blade and
not thinner than the body of the blade.
8. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive cut-off wheels may cause an injury.
9. Select the correct saw blade for the material to
be cut.
10. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
11. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
12. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
13. Do not cut metals such as nails and screws.
Inspect for and remove all nails, screws and
other foreign matter from the workpiece before
operation.
14. Knock out any loose knots from workpiece
BEFORE beginning to cut.
15. Don’t use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases.
16. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the work area and table top before
plugging the tool and starting operation.
17. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the tool.
18. Keep hands and make your bystander and your-
self position out of path of and not in line with
saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting
blade. It can still cause severe injury and never
reach around saw blade.
19. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Don't be lulled into a
false sense of security. Blades are extremely
unforgiving.
20. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
21. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
22. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cut-
ting.
23. The tool should not be used for slotting, rabbet-
ting or grooving.
24. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other
parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the tool is running and the saw head is not
in the rest position.
25. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
26. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving workpiece or changing settings.
27. Unplug tool before changing blade, servicing or
not in use.
28. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
- lead from lead-based-painted material and,
- arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depend-
ing on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out micro-
scopic particles.
29. Connect the tool to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
30. Make sure that the table is securely fixed with
the lever after turning it over.

19
When using in miter saw mode:
31. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, alu-
minum or similar materials.
32. Do not perform operation freehand when cutting
workpiece in an area close to saw blade. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn table and guide fence during all operations.
33. Make sure that the turn table is properly secured
so it will not move during operation.
34. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed when
beveling. Tighten the lever clockwise to fix the
arm.
35. Make sure the blade does not contact the turn
table in the lowest position and is not contacting
the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
36. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
When using in the table saw (bench saw) mode:
37. Do not perform any operation freehand. Free-
hand means using your hands to support or
guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence.
38. Make sure that the turn table is fixed securely.
39. Make sure that the arm is securely fixed in the
working position. Tighten the lever clockwise to
fix the arm.
40. Use a push stick or a push block to avoid work-
ing with the hands and fingers close to the saw
blade.
41. Make sure the blade is not contacting the riving
knife or workpiece before the switch is turned
on.
42. Always store the push-stick when it is not in use.
43. Pay particular attention to instructions for reduc-
ing risk of KICKBACK. KICKBACK is a sudden
reaction to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw
blade. KICKBACK causes the ejection of the
workpiece from the tool back towards the opera-
tor. KICKBACKS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PER-
SONAL INJURY. Avoid KICKBACKS by keeping
the blade sharp, by keeping the rip fence parallel
to the blade, by keeping the riving knife and
blade guard in place and operating properly, by
not releasing the workpiece until you have
pushed it all the way past the blade, and by not
ripping a workpiece that is twisted or warped or
does not have a straight edge to guide along the
fence.
44. Avoid abrupt, fast feeding. Feed as slowly as
possible when cutting hard workpieces. Do not
bend or twist workpiece while feeding. If you
stall or jam the blade in the workpiece, turn the
tool off immediately. Unplug the tool. Then clear
the jam.
45. Before turning over the tool, always make sure
that the stopper pin has securely locked the tool
head in the lowest position.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
•Keep the floor area around the tool level well main-
tained and free of loose materials such as chips and
cut-offs.
Bench mounting (Fig. 1, 2 & 3)
For the fully-extended feet set up as the high table
When the tool cannot be set up stable, turn the adjusting
nut at the foot of the tool for proper stability. Turn counter-
clockwise in top viewing to make the foot shorter and
clockwise in top viewing to make it longer. After adjust-
ment, make sure that the tool keep stable.
Install the fix plates with its angled end pointing outwards
onto three feet of the tool with hex bolts. And secure the
tool to the stable and level surface using bolt holes pro-
vided in the fix plates with three bolts.
For the folded feet set up as the low table
When the tool is ready in the foot-folded position, secure
the tool by using U-shaped grooves shown in the figure.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Blade guard (Fig. 4, 5 & 6)
CAUTION:
•Make sure that the handle cannot be lowered without
pushing the lever nearby the handle to the left.
•Make sure that the lower blade guards A dose not open
unless the lever near the handle is pushed at the top-
most position of the handle.
•Make sure that the lower blade guard C is installed
before using in miter saw mode.
When lowering the handle while pushing the lever to the
left, the lower blade guard A rises automatically. The
lower blade guard B rises as it contacts a workpiece. The
lower blade guards are spring loaded so it returns to its
original position when the cut is completed and the han-
dle is raised. The top blade guard falls flat on the table
surface after workpiece has passed under it. NEVER
DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE LOWER BLADE GUARDS,
THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES TO THE LOWER
BLADE GUARD, OR THE TOP BLADE GUARD except
for the note below.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
each blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the guards should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of the lower
blade guards. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE LOWER
BLADE GUARD, SPRING OR THE TOP BLADE GUARD
ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED except for the
note below. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

20
NOTE:
•There are the following exceptions for removal of
guards. Only when using in the table saw mode, the
lower blade guard C is removed. Only when using in
the miter saw mode, the top blade guard is removed.
If any of these see-through blade guards 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
guards carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents
or any petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard.
If the lower blade guard A is especially dirty and vision
through the guard is impaired, proceed as follows. Raise
the handle fully. Remove the saw blade (Refer to the sec-
tion “Installing or removing saw blade”). Raise the lower
blade guard A while pushing the lever to the left. With the
lower blade guard A so positioned, cleaning can be more
completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning
is complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt.
In the same case for the top blade guard as above
stated, push in the button at its front to the surface top
and remove the top blade guard. After cleaning, always
reinstall it securely.
If any of these blade guards becomes discolored through
age or UV light exposure, contact a Makita service center
for a new guard. DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE
GUARDS.
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity (Fig. 7)
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cut-
ting capacity for a 260 mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
CAUTION:
•When making this adjustment, unplug the tool.
