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.
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.
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.
4 ENGLISH
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.
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 children 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, break-
age of parts and any other condition that may
aect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, 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, taking 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.
Battery tool use and care
1. Recharge only with the charger specied by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of re
when used with another battery pack.
2. Use power tools only with specically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a re.
4.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acci-
dentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
re, explosion or risk of injury.
6. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
7. Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specied in the instruc-
tions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specied range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of re.
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. Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
3. 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.
5 ENGLISH
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 proxim-
ity 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 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 guard-
ing 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-opiece 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.
6 ENGLISH
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 or stopper lever which locks the
saw head down is for carrying and storage pur-
poses 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.
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.
23. Do not use a corded power supply with this
tool.

Securing workpiece
WARNING: It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or
the workpiece.
WARNING: When cutting a workpiece that
is longer than the support base of the saw, sup-
port the entire length of the material beyond the
support base and at the same height to keep the
material level. Proper workpiece support helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on
the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the
workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support work-
piece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

that no part of the tool, especially the blade, con-
tacts the upper and lower fences when fully low-
ering and raising the handle in any position and
while moving the carriage 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.
Use upper fences to support the material higher than
the lower fences. Loosen the clamping screw so that
the upper fences slide in and out over the lower fences.

You don't need to use it unless needed.
Vertical vise
WARNING: The workpiece must be secured
rmly against the turn base and guide fences 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.
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions each
on the left and right side of the base. Insert the vise rod
into one of the holes in the base.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the clamping screw. If the clamping screw
contacts the carriage, install it on the opposite side of
vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the
vise when lowering the handle all the way. If some part

priate Makita genuine saw blades, following materials
can also be sawed :
Aluminum products
Refer to our website or contact your local Makita dealer for the
correct circular saw blades to be used for the material to be cut.
WARNING: Make sure the circular saw blade
is not contacting the workpiece, etc. before the
switch is turned on. Turning the tool on with the
circular saw blade in contact with the workpiece may
result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
After a cutting operation, do not raise
the circular saw 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.
WARNING: Do not perform any adjustment
such as turning grip, levers, stopper pin on the
tool while the circular saw blade is rotating.
Adjustment while the circular saw blade is rotating
may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stopper
pin and release the handle from the lowered position.
NOTICE: 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. Press down handle with only as much force as
necessary for smooth cutting and without signicant
decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE: Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the circular saw blade
may vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the work-
piece and the precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage
toward the guide fences without stopping. If the carriage
movement stops during the cut, a mark may be left in the
workpiece and the precision of the cut may be impaired.

Press cutting
WARNING: Always lock the sliding movement
of the carriage when performing a press cutting.
Cutting without lock may cause possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury.
Workpieces up to 70 mm high and 92 mm wide can be
cut in the following manner.
1. Push the carriage toward the guide fences until it
stops and lock it with the stopper pin.
2. Secure the workpiece with the proper type of vise.
3. Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed before lowering.
4. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion to cut the workpiece.
5.
When the cut is completed, switch o the tool and wait until
the circular saw blade has come to a complete stop before
returning the circular saw blade to its fully elevated position.

WARNING: Whenever performing a slide cut,
rst pull the carriage full towards you and press
the handle all the way down, then push the car-
riage toward the guide fence. Never start the cut
with the carriage not pulled fully toward you. If
you perform the slide cut without the carriage pulled
fully toward you, unexpected kickback may occur and
serious personal injury may result.
WARNING:
Never attempt to perform a slide cut
by pulling the carriage towards you. Pulling the car-
riage towards you while cutting may cause unexpected
kickback resulting in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING: Never perform the slide cut with
the handle locked in the lowered position.

Miter cutting
Refer to the section for adjusting the miter angle.
Bevel cut
WARNING: After setting the circular saw
blade for a bevel cut, ensure that the carriage and
circular saw blade will have free travel throughout
the entire range of the intended cut before oper-
ating the tool. Interruption of the carriage or circular
saw blade travel during the cutting operation may
result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING: While making a bevel cut, keep
hands out of the path of the circular saw blade.
The angle of the circular saw blade may confuse the
operator as to the actual blade path while cutting and
contact with the circular saw blade will result in seri-
ous personal injury.
WARNING: The circular saw blade should not
be raised until it has come to a complete stop.
During a bevel cut, the piece cut o may come to
rest against the circular saw blade. If the circular saw
blade is raised while it is rotating, the cut-o piece
may be ejected by the circular saw blade causing
the material to fragment which may result in serious
personal injury.
25 ENGLISH
NOTICE: When pressing down the handle, apply
pressure in parallel with the circular saw blade. If
a force is applied perpendicularly to the turn base or
if the pressure direction is changed during a cut, the
precision of the cut will be impaired.
1. Remove the upper fence on the side that you are
going to tilt the carriage.
2. Unlock the stopper pins so that the carriage can
be elevated and slid freely.
3. Adjust the bevel angle according to the procedure
explained in the section for bevel angle adjustment.
Then tighten the grip dial.
4. Secure the workpiece with a vise.
5. Pull the carriage toward you fully.
6. Switch on the tool without the circular saw blade
making any contact and wait until the circular saw blade
attains full speed.
7. Gently lower the handle to the fully lowered posi-
tion while applying pressure in parallel with the circular
saw blade and push the carriage toward the guide
fences to cut the workpiece.
8. When the cut is completed, switch o the tool and
wait until the circular saw blade has come to a com-
plete stop before returning the circular saw blade to its
fully elevated position.
Compound cutting
Compound cutting is the process in which a bevel
angle is made at the same time in which a miter angle
is being cut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can be
performed at the angle shown in the table.
Miter angle Bevel angle
Left and Right 0° - 45° Left and Right 0° - 45°
When performing compound cutting, refer to the section
for press cutting, slide (push) cutting, miter cutting, and
bevel cut.
Cutting crown and cove moldings
Crown and cove moldings can be cut on a compound
miter saw with the moldings laid at on the turn base.
There are two common types of crown moldings and
one type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall angle crown
molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and 45° wall
angle cove molding.

extrusion 5. Spacer block
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in the gure to prevent
deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting lubricant
when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up
of the aluminum material on the circular saw blade.
WARNING: Never attempt to cut thick or
round aluminum extrusions. Thick or round alumi-
num extrusions can be dicult to secure and the work
may loosen during the cutting operation which may
result in loss of control and serious personal injury.
Groove cutting
WARNING: Do not attempt to perform this
type of cut by using a wider type blade or dado
blade. Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider
blade or dado blade could lead to unexpected cutting
results and kickback which may result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING: Be sure to return the stopper arm
to the original position when performing other
than groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with
the stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
For a dado type cut, perform as follows:
1. Adjust the lower limit position of the circular saw
blade using the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to
limit the cutting depth of the circular saw blade. Refer to
the section for stopper arm.
2. After adjusting the lower limit position of the circu-
lar saw blade, cut parallel grooves across the width of
the workpiece using a slide (push) cut.
