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).

17
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:

ing it to the wrench holder.
Installing or removing saw blade
WARNING:
•Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the blade.
Accidental start up of the tool may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
•Use only the Makita socket wrench provided to
install or remove the blade. Failure to use the wrench
may result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of
the hex bolt and serious personal injury.
Lock the handle in the raised position by pushing in the
stopper pin. (Fig. 24)

19
To remove the blade, use the socket wrench to loosen
the hex bolt holding the center cover by turning it coun-
terclockwise. Raise the blade guard and center cover.
(Fig. 25)
Press the shaft lock to lock the spindle and use the
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt clockwise. Then
remove the hex bolt, outer flange and blade. (Fig. 26)
NOTE:
• If the inner flange is removed be sure to install it on the
spindle with its protrusion facing away from the blade. If
the flange is installed incorrectly the flange will rub
against the machine.
WARNING:
•Before mounting the blade onto the spindle, always
be sure that the correct ring for the blade's arbor
hole you intend to use is installed between the
inner and the outer flanges. Use of the incorrect
arbor hole ring may result in the improper mounting of
the blade causing blade movement and severe vibra-
tion resulting in possible loss of control during opera-
tion and in serious personal injury.
To install the blade, mount it carefully onto the spindle,
making sure that the direction of the arrow on the surface
of the blade matches the direction of the arrow on the
blade case.
Install the outer flange and hex bolt, and then use the
socket wrench to tighten the hex bolt (left-handed)
securely counterclockwise while pressing the shaft lock.
(Fig. 27 & 28)
Return the blade guard and center cover to its original
position. Then tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure
the center cover. Release the handle from the raised
position by pulling the stopper pin. Lower the handle to
make sure that the blade guard moves properly. Make
sure the shaft lock has released spindle before making
cut. (Fig. 29)
Dust bag (Fig. 30)
The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations
cleaner and dust collection easier. To attach the dust
bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust
bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove par-
ticles adhering to the insides which might hamper further
collection.
NOTE:
• If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, cleaner
operations can be performed.
Dust box (optional accessory) (Fig. 31, 32 & 33)
Insert the dust box into the dust nozzle.
Empty the dust box when necessary.
To empty the dust box, open the cover by pushing the
button and dispose of the sawdust. Return the cover to
the original position and lock it in place. Dust box can
easily be removed by pulling it out while turning it near
the dust nozzle on the tool.
NOTE:
• If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this tool,
cleaner operations can be performed.
NOTICE:
• Empty the dust box before collected sawdust level
reaches the cylinder section.
Securing workpiece
WARNING:
•It is extremely important to always secure the work-
piece correctly with the proper type of vise or
crown molding stoppers. Failure to do so may result
in serious personal injury and cause damage to the tool
and/or the workpiece.
•After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
until it has come to a complete stop. The raising of a
coasting blade may result in serious personal injury
and damage to the workpiece.
•When cutting a workpiece that is longer than the
support base of the saw, the material should be
supported the entire length beyond the support
base and at the same height to keep the material
level. Proper workpiece support will help avoid blade
pinch and possible kickback which may result in seri-
ous personal injury. 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. (Fig. 34)
Guide fence (SLIDING FENCES which are upper
and lower fences) adjustment
WARNING:
• Before operating the tool, make sure that the upper and
lower fences are secured firmly.
•Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of the
tool, especially the blade, contacts the upper and
lower fences when fully lowering and raising the
handle in any position and while moving the car-
riage through its full range of travel. If the tool or
blade makes contact with the fence this may result in
kickback or unexpected movement of the material and
serious personal injury.
The lower fences can be moved inward and outward by
loosening the clamping screws. (Fig. 35)
A red indicating area will appear as the lower fences are
moved inward and will disappear as the lower fences are
moved outward.
The upper fences can be removed or moved inward and
outward by loosening the levers. (Fig. 36)
In case of bevel-cutting, adjust the lower and upper fence
positions to be as close to the blade as practical to pro-
vide maximum workpiece support, and make sure that no
part of the tool, especially the blade, contacts the lower
and upper fences when lowering and raising the handle
fully at any position and pulling or pushing the carriage all
the way at the lowest position. (Fig. 37)
Before cutting operations, make a dry run with the saw
turned off and unplugged, then check clearance between
fences and moving parts.
Before cutting operations, firmly secure lower fences by
tightening the clamping screws and upper fences by
tightening the levers.
When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don’t forget
to return the upper fences to the original position and
return it.
Vertical vise (Fig. 38)
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise rod
into the hole in the base.

20
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 carriage, install the screw on the opposite 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 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.
Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the
vise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating the quick
setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece after set-
ting, turn the vise knob clockwise.
WARNING:
•The workpiece must be secured firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations. If the workpiece is not properly secured
against the fence the material may move during the
cutting operation causing possible damage to the
blade, causing the material to be thrown and loss of
control resulting in serious personal injury.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory) (Fig. 39 & 40)
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base.
When performing 15° or greater miter cuts, install the
horizontal vise on the side opposite the direction in which
the turn base is to be turned.
By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is
released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the work-
piece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate con-
tacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut clockwise. Then
turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.
WARNING:
•Always rotate the vise nut clockwise until the work-
piece is properly secured. If the workpiece is not
properly secured the material may move during the cut-
ting operation causing possible damage to the blade,
causing the material to be thrown and loss of control
resulting in serious personal injury.
• When cutting a thin workpiece, such as base boards,
against the fence, always use the horizontal vise.
Holders (optional accessory) (Fig. 41)
The holders can be installed on either side as a conve-
nient means of holding workpieces horizontally. Slip the
holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust their
length according to the workpiece to be held. Then
tighten the holders securely with the screws.
WARNING:
•Always support a long workpiece so it is level with
the top surface of the turn base for an accurate cut
and to prevent dangerous loss of tool control.
Proper workpiece support will help avoid blade pinch
and possible kickback which may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
• Before use, be sure to release the handle from the low-
ered position by pulling the stopper pin.
• 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.
WARNING:
•Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece, etc. before the switch is turned on. Tur ning
the tool on with the blade in contact with the workpiece
may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)
(Fig. 42)
Workpieces up to 68 mm high and 160 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
After turning the stopper lever clockwise and sliding the
carriage to your desired position, push the carriage
toward the guide fence fully and tighten the locking screw
clockwise and pull the lock lever towards the front of the
saw to secure the carriage. Secure the workpiece cor-
rectly with the proper type of vise or crown molding stop-
pers.
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.
WARNING:
•Firmly tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull
the lock lever towards the front of the saw so that
the carriage will not move during operation. Insuffi-
cient tightening of the locking screw may cause possi-
ble kickback which may result in serious personal
injury.
2. Slide (push) cutting (cutting wide workpieces)
(Fig. 43 & 44)
Loosen the locking screw counterclockwise and also
push forward the lock lever so that the carriage can slide
freely. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
Pull the carriage toward you fully. Switch on the tool with-
out the blade making any contact and wait until the blade
attains full speed. Press the handle down and PUSH
THE CARRIAGE TOWARD THE GUIDE FENCE AND
THROUGH THE WORKPIECE. When the cut is com-
pleted, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE BLADE
HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning
the blade to its fully elevated position.
