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.
ENB034-6
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid con-
tact with any coasting blade. It can still cause
severe injury.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Never reach around saw blade.
6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving workpiece or changing settings.
7. Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.
8. Always secure all moving portions before carry-
ing the tool.
9. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is
for carrying and storage purposes only and not
for any cutting operations.
10. 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.
11. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation.
Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.
12. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
13. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt. Dam-
age to these parts could result in blade breakage.
14. Make sure that the turn base is properly secured
so it will not move during operation.
15. For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,
etc. from the table top before operation.
16. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
17. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
18. Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position.
19. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw
moves up or down slightly during start-up and
stopping.
20. Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece 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. Stop operation immediately if you notice any-
thing abnormal.
24. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on posi-
tion.
25. Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Don’t be lulled into a
false sense of security. Blades are extremely
unforgiving.

26. Always use accessories recommended in this
manual. Use of improper accessories such as
abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
27. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, alu-
minum or similar materials.
28. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
29. Select saw blades in relation to the material to
be cut.
30. Take care when slotting.
31. Replace the kerf board when worn.
32. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
33. 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.
34. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
35. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.
36. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
37. 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.
38. Use only saw blades recommended by the
manufacturer which conform to EN847-1.
39. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw blades
shall be carried in a holder wherever practicable)
and rough material.
40. When fitted with laser, no exchange with differ-
ent type of laser is permitted. Repairs shall only
be carried out correctly.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION
Bench mounting
When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the low-
ered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper pin
by simultaneously applying a slight downward pressure
on the handle and pulling the stopper pin. (Fig. 1)
WARNING:
•Ensure that the tool will not move on the support-
ing surface. Movement of the miter saw on the sup-
porting surface while cutting may result in loss of
control and serious personal injury.
This tool should be bolted with four bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’s
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
(Fig. 2)
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on
the tool.
Failure to switch off and unplug the tool may
result in serious personal injury from accidental start-up.
Blade guard (Fig. 3 & 4)
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises auto-
matically. The blade guard returns to its original position
when the cut is completed and the handle is raised.
WARNING:
•Never defeat or remove the blade guard or the
spring which attaches to the guard. An exposed
blade as a result of defeated guarding may result in
serious personal injury during operation.
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.
WARNING:
•Never use the tool if the blade guard or spring are
damaged, faulty or removed. Operation of the tool
with a damaged, faulty or removed guard may result in
serious personal injury.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade and/or work-
piece 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 because this may cause damage to the guard.
If the blade guard becomes dirty and needs to be
cleaned for proper operation follow the steps below:
With the tool switched off and unplugged, use the sup-
plied socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the
center cover. Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counter-
clockwise 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 damaged through age or UV light expo-
sure, contact a Makita service center for a new guard.
DO NOT DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.
Positioning kerf board (Fig. 5, 6 & 7)
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 the locking screw counterclockwise which
secures the upper slide poles and also push forward the
lock lever which secures the lower 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 firmly). 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
firmly).

After adjusting the kerf boards, release the stopper pin
and raise the handle. Then tighten all the screws
securely.
NOTICE:
•After setting the bevel angle ensure that the kerf
boards are adjusted properly. Correct adjustment of
the kerf boards will help provide proper support of the
workpiece minimizing workpiece tear out.
Maintaining maximum cutting capacity
(Fig. 8, 9 & 10)
This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cut-
ting capacity for a 260 mm saw blade.
Unplug the tool before any adjustment is attempted.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit
position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows:
First, unplug the tool. Lower the stopper lever to position
the saw blade as shown in the figure. Push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle com-
pletely. Use the socket wrench to turn the adjusting bolt
until the periphery of the blade extends slightly below the
top surface of the turn base at the point where the front
face of the guide fence meets the top surface of the turn
base.
With the tool unplugged, rotate the blade by hand while
holding the handle all the way down to be sure that the
blade does not contact any part of the lower base. Re-
adjust slightly, if necessary.
After adjustment, always return the stopper lever to the
original position by turning it counterclockwise.
WARNING:
•After installing a new blade and with the tool
unplugged, always be sure that the blade does not
contact any part of the lower base when the handle
is lowered completely. If a blade makes contact with
the base it may cause kickback and result in serious
personal injury.
Stopper arm (Fig. 11)
