ENE006-1
Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter
cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum
can also be sawed.
ENF002-2
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 and can, therefore, also be used from
sockets without earth wire.
ENF100-1
For public low-voltage distribution systems of
between 220 V and 250 V
Switching operations of electric apparatus cause voltage
fluctuations. The operation of this device under
unfavorable mains conditions can have adverse effects
to the operation of other equipment. With a mains
impedance equal or less than 0.46 Ohms it can be
presumed that there will be no negative effects. The
mains socket used for this device must be protected with
a fuse or protective circuit breaker having slow tripping
characteristics.
GEA010-2
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
ENB130-2
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITRE SAWS
1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or woodlike
products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-
off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as
bars, rods, studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes
moving parts such as the lower guard to jam. Sparks
from abrasive cutting will burn the lower guard, the
kerf insert and other plastic parts.
2. Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand,
you must always keep your hand at least
100 mm from either side of the saw blade. Do not
use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to
be securely clamped or held by hand. If your
hand is placed too close to the saw blade, there is
an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
3. The workpiece must be stationary and clamped
or held against both the fence and the table. Do
not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut
“freehand” in any way. Unrestrained or moving
workpieces could be thrown at high speeds, causing
injury.
4. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull
the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut,
raise the saw head and pull it out over the
workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press
the saw head down and push the saw through
the workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to
cause the saw blade to climb on top of the
workpiece and violently throw the blade assembly
towards the operator.
5. Never cross your hand over the intended line of
cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e.
holding the workpiece to the right of the saw blade
with your left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.

6. Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100 mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason while the blade is spinning. The proximity
of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be
obvious and you may be seriously injured.
7. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the
outside bowed face toward the fence. Always
make certain that there is no gap between the
workpiece, fence and table along the line of the
cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift
and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade
while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign
objects in the workpiece.
8. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the
workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or
other objects that contact the revolving blade can be
thrown with high speed.
9. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked
multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped
or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during
cutting.
10. Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or placed on a
level, firm work surface before use. A level and
firm work surface reduces the risk of the mitre saw
becoming unstable.
11. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel
or mitre angle setting, make sure the adjustable
fence is set correctly to support the workpiece
and will not interfere with the blade or the
guarding system. Without turning the tool “ON” and
with no workpiece on the table, move the saw blade
through a complete simulated cut to assure there
will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
12. Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that
is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip if not
securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece
tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the
spinning blade.
13. Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the
cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the
spinning blade.
14. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning saw
blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off
piece could get wedged against the blade and
thrown violently.
15. Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such as rods or
tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being
cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with
your hand into the blade.
16. Let the blade reach full speed before contacting
the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
17. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
the mitre saw off. Wait for all moving parts to
stop and disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack. Then
work to free the jammed material. Continued
sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss
of control or damage to the mitre saw.
18. After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold
the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop
before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with
your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
19. Hold the handle firmly when making an
incomplete cut or when releasing the switch
before the saw head is completely in the down
position. The braking action of the saw may cause
the saw head to be suddenly pulled downward,
causing a risk of injury.
20. Only use the saw blade with the diameter that is
marked on the tool or specified in the manual.
Use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect the
proper guarding of the blade or guard operation
which could result in serious personal injury.
21. Only use the saw blades that are marked with a
speed equal or higher than the speed marked on
the tool.
22. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,
aluminum or similar materials.
23. (For European countries only)
Always use the blade which conforms to EN847-
1.
Additional instructions
1. Make workshop kid proof with padlocks.
2. Never stand on the tool. Serious injury could occur
if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
3. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn
the power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to
a complete stop.
4. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard
does not move freely and close instantly. Never
clamp or tie the blade guard into the open
position.
5. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
6. To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage to the
full rear position after each crosscut operation.
7. Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
8. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is
for carrying and storage purposes only and not
for any cutting operations.
9. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases
potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by first
removing it from tool, then cleaning it with gum
and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene. Never
use gasoline to clean blade.

18
10. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can occur.
KICKBACK occurs when the blade binds in the
workpiece during a cutting operation and the
saw blade is driven rapidly towards the operator.
Loss of control and serious personal injury can
result. If blade begins to bind during a cutting
operation, do not continue to cut and release
switch immediately.
11. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
12. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt.
Damage to these parts could result in blade
breakage.
13. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation. Use the
holes in the base to fasten the saw to a stable
work platform or bench. NEVER use tool where
operator positioning would be awkward.
14. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
15. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position.
16. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
17. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
18. 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.
19. Stop operation immediately if you notice
anything abnormal.
20. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the “ON”
position.
21. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
22. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Blade guard (Fig. 6 & 7)
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises
automatically. The guard is spring loaded so it returns to
its original position when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE
BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES
TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular
operation of the blade guard should be corrected
immediately. Check to assure spring loaded return action
of guard. NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE
GUARD OR SPRING ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR
REMOVED. DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND
CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the see-through blade guard 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 guard
carefully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any
petroleum-based cleaners on the plastic guard.
If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through
the guard is impaired, use the supplied hex wrench to
loosen the hex socket bolt holding the center cover.
Loosen the hex socket bolt by turning it counterclockwise
and raise the blade guard and center cover. With the
blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more
completely and efficiently accomplished. When cleaning
is complete, reverse procedure above and secure bolt.
Do not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard
becomes discolored through age or UV light exposure,
contact a Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT
DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
Positioning kerf board (Fig. 8 & 9)
This tool is provided with the kerf boards in the turn base
to minimize tearing on the exit side of a cut. The kerf
boards are factory adjusted so that the saw blade does
not contact the kerf boards. Before use, adjust the kerf
boards as follows:
