[. . . ] To avoid injury from flying debris, keep holding the saw head down, after making cuts, until the blade has come to a complete stop. When using the tool in the miter saw mode, secure the top table at the topmost blade never protrudes from the top surface of the top table. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Auxiliary plate Hex bolt Base Nut Bolt Lower blade guard A Lower blade guard B Top blade guard Screw Handle Lever Socket wrench Adjusting bolt Top surface of turn base Periphery of blade Guide fence Pointer Lock lever Grip Miter scale Bevel scale Switch Lamp switch Lamps Stopper pin Clamping screw Top table Motor housing Center cover Shaft lock Saw blade 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 Blade case Arrow Outer flange Inner flange Spindle Ring Riving knife Area to press in Blade width Rip fence holder Guide rail on the top table Clamping screw (A) Clamping screw (B) Rip fence Rip fence holder Workpiece Line to be aligned with Square nut Scale Two screws Dust nozzle Dust bag Fastener Cap Vacuum cleaner Blade cover Support Turn base Vise arm Vise rod Holder 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 Holder assembly Vise knob Projection Vise shaft Rod 12 Vise (optional accessory) Spacer block Aluminum extrusion Set plate Small boss Face/edge parallel Wood screw Glue together Hole (7 mm in diameter) Washer Nut Bolt M6 Push stick Auxiliary fence Push block Triangular rule 0° adjusting bolt Arm 45° bevel angle adjusting bolt Limit mark Screwdriver Brush holder cap Cutting capacities (H x W) with blade 260 mm in diameter in the miter saw mode Miter angle Bevel angle 0° 0° 45° (left) 69 mm x 130 mm 93 mm x 95 mm 35 mm x 130 mm 53 mm x 95 mm 45° right 69 mm x 85 mm, 93 mm x 67 mm left 69 mm x 85 mm, 93 mm x 67 mm right 35 mm x 91 mm, 49 mm x 67 mm left 35 mm x 65 mm, 49 mm x 42 mm Cutting capacities at 90° in the table saw (bench saw mode) .

[. . . ] 22) The riving knife has been installed before shipment from the factory so that the blade and riving knife are in a straight line. If the blade and riving knife are not aligned properly, a dangerous pinching condition may result during operation. You could suffer serious personal injury while using the tool without a properly aligned riving knife. If they are not aligned for any reasons, always have Makita authorized service center repair it. Slide the rip fence and secure it so that the far end from you of the rip fence is aligned with the point at which the front edge of saw blade just appears from top surface of the workpiece. The purpose of this adjustment is to reduce risk of kick-back toward operator that cut piece from the workpiece is pinched between the saw blade and rip fence and finally pushed out toward operator. The use of the dust bag makes cutting operations clean and dust collection easy. In miter saw mode, always insert the dust bag to the back nozzle only. 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 particles adhering to the insides which might hamper further collection. If you connect a vacuum cleaner to your saw, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed. To install the blade cover when using in the table saw mode (bench mode), turn the turn base to 0° miter angle (see the section titled "Adjusting miter angle") and place the blade cover on the turn table so that the blade cover is centered over the slit for the blade entrance in the turn table and then lock the handle in the lowest position by fully pushing in the stopper pin as shown in the figure. To attach the dust bag to the front dust nozzle in the table saw mode (bench mode), first remove the cap from the front dust nozzle and then attach the dust bag to the dust nozzle. When not in use of dust bag, always replace the cap to the front dust nozzle. When using the tool in the table saw mode (bench mode), make sure that the blade cover is installed on the turn table. The horizontal vise can be installed 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 turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in and out. 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 holders and the holder assembly can be installed on either side as a convenient means of supporting workpieces horizontally. [. . . ] Turn the turn base so that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale. Square the side of the blade with the face of the guide fence using a triangular rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex bolts on the guide fence in the order from the right side. Turn the 0° bevel angle adjusting bolt on the right side of the turn base two or three revolutions clockwise to tilt the blade to the right. [. . . ]
