ment. Be sure that you understand their meaning before
use.
Read instruction manual.
DOUBLE INSULATION
To avoid injury from ying debris, keep
holding the saw head down, after making
cuts, until the blade has come to a com-
plete stop.
When performing slide cut, rst pull car-
riage fully and press down handle, then
push carriage toward the guide fence.
Do not place hand or ngers close to the
blade.
For your safety, remove the chips, small
pieces, etc. from the table top before
operation.
Always set SUB-FENCE to left position
when performing left bevel cuts. Failure to
do so may cause serious injury to operator.
To loosen the bolt, turn it clockwise.
Never look into the laser beam. Direct laser
beam may injure your eyes.
Only for EU countries
Do not dispose of electric equipment
together with household waste material!
In observance of the European Directive,
on Waste Electric and Electronic
Equipment and its implementation in
accordance with national law, electric
equipment that have reached the end of
their life must be collected separately and
returned to an environmentally compatible
recycling facility.

12 ENGLISH
Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter
cutting in wood. With appropriate saw blades, aluminum
can also be sawed.
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.
SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specications provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
2. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
7. Use of power supply via an RCD with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less is always
recommended.
8. Power tools can produce electromagnetic
elds (EMF) that are not harmful to the user.
However, users of pacemakers and other similar
medical devices should contact the maker of their
device and/or doctor for advice before operating
this power tool.
9. Do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
10. If the cord is damaged, have it replaced by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
Personal safety
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your nger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7. If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.

13 ENGLISH
9. Always wear protective goggles to protect
your eyes from injury when using power tools.
The goggles must comply with ANSI Z87.1 in
the USA, EN 166 in Europe, or AS/NZS 1336
in Australia/New Zealand. In Australia/New
Zealand, it is legally required to wear a face
shield to protect your face, too.
It is an employer's responsibility to enforce
the use of appropriate safety protective equip-
ments by the tool operators and by other per-
sons in the immediate working area.
Power tool use and care
1. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations di󰀨erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
8. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
9. When using the tool, do not wear cloth work
gloves which may be entangled. The entangle-
ment of cloth work gloves in the moving parts may
result in personal injury.
Service
1. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
Safety instructions for mitre saws
1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abra-
sive cut-o󰀨 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 when-
ever 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.
► Fig.1
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 proxim-
ity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not
be obvious and you may be seriously injured.

14 ENGLISH
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 work-
piece. 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 multi-
ple 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, rm work surface before use. A level
and rm 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 exten-
sions, 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-o󰀨 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-o󰀨 piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning
saw blade. If conned, i.e. using length stops, the
cut-o󰀨 piece could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
15. Always use a clamp or a xture 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 contact-
ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
17. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed,
turn the mitre saw o󰀨. 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 nishing the cut, release the switch,
hold the saw head down and wait for the blade
to stop before removing the cut-o󰀨 piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade
is dangerous.
19. Hold the handle rmly when making an incom-
plete cut or when releasing the switch before
the saw head is completely in the down posi-
tion. 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 specied in the man-
ual. Use of an incorrectly sized blade may a󰀨ect
the proper guarding of the blade or guard opera-
tion 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 o󰀨. 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 dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or dam-
aged blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases
potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by
rst removing it from tool, then cleaning it with
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline to clean blade.

15 ENGLISH
10. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can
occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade
binds in the workpiece during a cutting oper-
ation and the saw blade is driven rapidly
towards the operator. Loss of control and seri-
ous personal injury can result. If blade begins
to bind during a cutting operation, do not con-
tinue to cut and release switch immediately.
11. Use only anges specied for this tool.
12. Be careful not to damage the arbor, anges
(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 rmly. 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 any-
thing 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 inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.

FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched o󰀨 and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Blade guard
► Fig.7: 1. Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-
matically. 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.

16 ENGLISH
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion 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 saw-
dust adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no lon-
ger 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 counterclock-
wise and raise the blade guard and center cover. With
the blade guard so positioned, cleaning can be more
completely and e󰀩ciently 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.

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:
First, unplug the tool. Loosen all the screws (2 each on
left and right) securing the kerf boards. Re-tighten them
only to the extent that the kerf boards can still be easily
moved by hand. Lower the handle fully and push in the
stopper pin to lock the handle in the lowered position.
Loosen two clamp screws which secure the slide poles.
Pull the carriage toward you fully. Adjust the kerf boards
so that the kerf boards just contact the sides of the
blade teeth. Tighten the front screws (do not tighten
rmly). Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully
and adjust the kerf boards so that the kerf boards just
contact the sides of blade teeth. Tighten the rear screws
(do not tighten rmly).
After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper
pin and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws
securely.
CAUTION:
• Before and after changing the bevel angle,
always adjust the kerf boards as described
above.

Securing workpiece
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece properly and tightly with the vise.
Failure to do so can cause the tool to be dam-
aged and/or the workpiece to be destroyed.
PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also,
after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the
blade until the blade has come to a complete
stop.
CAUTION:
• When cutting long workpieces, use supports
that are as high as the top surface level of the
turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise
and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

the guide fence or the holder assembly and tighten the
screw to secure the vise rod.

20 ENGLISH
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the oppo-
site side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece at against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it rmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
• The workpiece must be secured rmly against
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
► Fig.40: 1. Vise knob 2. Projection 3. Vise shaft
4. Base
The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of
the base. By turning the vise knob counterclockwise,
the screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved
rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise,
the screw remains secured. To grip the workpiece,
turn the vise knob gently clockwise until the projection
reaches its topmost position, then fasten securely.
If the vise knob is forced in or pulled out while being
turned clockwise, the projection may stop at an angle.
In this case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise
until the screw is released, before turning again gently
clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm.
CAUTION:
• Grip the workpiece only when the projection is
at the topmost position. Failure to do so may
result in insu󰀩cient securing of the workpiece.
This could cause the workpiece to be thrown,
cause damage to the blade or cause the loss
of control, which can result in PERSONAL
INJURY.
Holders and holder assembly
(optional accessories)
CAUTION: For the tool equipped with the hold-
ers and the holder assemblies as standard acces-
sories, this type of use is not permitted due to the
country regulations.
► Fig.41: 1. Holder 2. Holder assembly
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
gure. Then tighten the screws rmly to secure the
holders and the holder assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.
► Fig.42: 1. Holder assembly 2. Rod 12
CAUTION:
• Always support long workpieces level with the
top surface of the turn base for accurate cuts
and to prevent dangerous loss of control of the
tool.
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 work-
piece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
• Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
e󰀩ciency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without signicant decrease in blade speed.
• Gently press down the handle to perform the
cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if
lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and
the precision of the cut will be impaired.
• During a slide cut, gently push the carriage
toward the guide fence without stopping. If the
carriage movement is stopped during the cut, a
mark will be left in the workpiece and the preci-
sion of the cut will be impaired.
Press cutting (cutting small
workpieces)
► Fig.43: 1. Two clamping screws which secure the
slide pole 2. Holder assembly
Workpieces up to 50 mm high and 97 mm wide can be
cut in the following way.
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten two clamp screws which secure the slide poles
clockwise to secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece
with the vise. Switch on the tool without the blade
making any contact and wait until the blade attains full
speed before lowering. Then gently lower the handle to
the fully lowered position to cut the workpiece. When
the cut is completed, switch o󰀨 the tool and WAIT
UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE
STOP before returning the blade to its fully elevated
position.
CAUTION:
• Firmly tighten two clamping screws which
secure the slide poles clockwise so that the car-
riage will not move during operation. Insu󰀩cient
tightening may cause unexpected kickback
of the blade. Possible serious PERSONAL
INJURY may result.
