Intended use
The tool is intended for accurate straight and miter cut-
ting 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.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future refer-
ence.
ENB034-10
MITER SAW SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid con-
tact with any coasting blade. It can still cause
severe injury.
2. Check the saw blade carefully for cracks or
deformation before operation.
Replace damaged blade immediately.
3. Replace the kerf board when worn.
4. Use only saw blades specified by the manufac-
turer which conform to EN847-1.
5. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
6. Wear eye protection.
7. Wear hearing protection to reduce the risk of
hearing loss.
8. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw blades
shall be carried in a holder wherever practicable)
and rough material.
9. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
10. Select saw blades in relation to the material to
be cut.
11. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, alu-
minum or similar materials.
12. Always secure all moving portions before carry-
ing the tool. When lifting or carrying the tool, do
not use the guard as a carrying handle.
13. 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 posi-
tion.
14. Keep the floor area free of loose material e.g.
chips and cut-offs.
15. Use only saw blades that are marked with a max-
imum speed equal to or higher than the no load
speed marked on the tool.
16. When the tool is fitted with a laser or LED, do not
replace the laser or LED with a different type.
Ask an authorized service center for repair.
17. Never remove any cut-offs or other parts of the
workpiece from the cutting area whilst the tool is
running with an unguarded saw blade.
18. Do not perform any operation freehand. The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence with the vise during all opera-
tions. Never use your hand to secure the workpiece.
19. Ensure that the tool is stable before each cut.
20. Fix the tool to a work bench, if needed.
21. Support long workpieces with appropriate addi-
tional supports.
22. Never cut so small workpiece which cannot be
securely held by the vise. Improperly held work-
piece may cause kickback and serious personal
injury.
23. Never reach around saw blade.
24. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving workpiece or changing settings.
25. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.
26. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is
for carrying and storage purposes only and not
for any cutting operations.
27. Do not use the tool in the presence of flammable
liquids or gases. The electrical operation of the tool
could create an explosion and fire when exposed to
flammable liquids or gases.
28. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
29. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Dam-
age to these parts could result in blade break-
age.
30. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation.
31. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the table top before operation.
32. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
33. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
34. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position.
35. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
36. Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
37. 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.
38. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cut-
ting.
39. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
40. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on posi-
tion.

41. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Do not be lulled into a
false sense of security. Blades are extremely
unforgiving.
42. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
43. Take care when slotting.
44. 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.
45. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
46. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.

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. 4 & 5)
For all countries other than European countries
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 han-
dle 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 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.
For European countries
When lowering the handle, the blade guard A rises auto-
matically. The blade guard B rises as it contacts a work-
piece. The guards are spring loaded so it returns to its
original position when the cut is completed and the han-
dle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE
BLADE GUARDS OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES
TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
each blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the blade guards should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of guards.
NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARDS 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 care-
fully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petro-
leum-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 com-
pletely 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.

Securing workpiece (Fig. 32)
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the work-
piece properly and tightly with the vise. Failure to do so
can cause the tool to be damaged and/or the work-
piece 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 com-
plete 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 KICK-
BACK.
Vertical vise (Fig. 33)
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the holder
assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise rod into
the hole in the guide fence or the holder assembly and
tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tight-
ening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm con-
tacts the guide fence, install the screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool con-
tacts 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 flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence with the vise during all opera-
tions.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory) (Fig. 34)
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 rap-
idly 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 insuffi-
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 PER-
SONAL INJURY.
Holders and holder assembly
(optional accessories) (Fig. 35 & 36)
The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on
either side as a convenient means of supporting work-
pieces horizontally. Install them as shown in the figure.
Then tighten the screws firmly 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.
CAUTION:
• Always support long workpieces level with the top sur-
face 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 low-
ered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece,
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 efficiency. Push down
handle with only as much force as is necessary for
smooth cutting and without significant 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 work-
piece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.
1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces) (Fig. 37)
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 off 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 carriage will not move
during operation. Insufficient tightening may cause
unexpected kickback of the blade. Possible serious
PERSONAL INJURY may result.
