SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Safety instructions for miter saws

1. Mitre saws are intended to cut wood or woodlike products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-off 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 whenever 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.

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.
   ► Fig.1

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 proximity 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 workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown at high speed.

9. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.

10. Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level and firm work surface reduce the risk of the miter saw becoming unstable.

11. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade or the guarding 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 extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the tabletop. Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off 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-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the thecut-off piece could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.

15. Always use a clamp or a fixture 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 contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.

17. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter saw off. 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 miter saw.

18. After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.

19. Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely in the down position. 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 specified in the manual. The use of an incorrectly sized blade may affect the proper guarding of the blade or guard operation which could result in serious personal injury.

21. Only use the saw blades that are marked with a speed equal to 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.

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 off. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.
4. Do not operate the saw without guards in place. Check the blade guard for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the saw if the blade guard does not move freely and closes instantly. Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the open position.
5. Keep hands out of the path of the saw blade. Avoid contact with any coasting blade. It can still cause severe injury.
6. To reduce the risk of injury, return the carriage to the full rear position after each crosscut operation.
7. Always secure all moving portions before carrying the tool.
8. The stopper pin or stopper lever which locks the saw head down is for carrying and storage purposes only and not for any cutting operations.
9. Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged blades immediately. Gum and wood pitch hardened on blades slows saw and increases the potential for kickback. Keep the blade clean by first removing it from the tool, then cleaning it with gum and pitch remover, hot water, or kerosene. Never use gasoline to clean the blade.
10. While making a slide cut, KICKBACK can occur. KICKBACK occurs when the blade binds in the workpiece during a cutting operation and the saw blade is driven rapidly towards the operator. Loss of control and serious personal injury can result. If the blade begins to bind during a cutting operation, do not continue to cut and release the switch immediately.
11. Use only the flanges specified for this tool.
12. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges (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 a 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 firmly. 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 anything abnormal.
20. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the “ON” position.
21. Always use accessories recommended in this manual. The use of improper accessories such as abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
22. Some material contains chemicals that may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
23. Do not use a corded power supply with this tool.

Automatic speed change function

► Fig.12: 1. Mode indicator

This tool has “high-speed mode” and “high torque mode”. It automatically changes operation mode depending on the workload. When the mode indicator lights up during operation, the tool is in high torque mode.

Blade guard

► Fig.13: 1. Blade guard
When lowering the handle, the blade guard rises automatically. The guard is spring-loaded so it 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 the operation. In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain the blade guard in good condition. Any irregular operation of the blade guard should be corrected immediately. Check to assure spring-loaded return action of the guard.

WARNING: Never use the tool if the blade guard or spring is 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 workpiece is no longer easily visible, remove the batteries 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 is especially dirty and vision through the guard is impaired, remove the batteries and use the supplied wrench to loosen the hex bolt holding the center cover.
Loosen the hex bolt by turning it counterclockwise 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 the procedure above and secure the bolt. Do not remove the spring-holding blade guard. If the guard becomes discolored through age or UV light exposure, contact a Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT DEFEAT OR
REMOVE GUARD.

Kerf boards

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:
► Fig.15: 1. Kerf board
► Fig.16: 1. Left bevel cut 2. Straight cut 3. A right bevel cut 4. Saw blade 5. Blade teeth 6. Kerf board

First, remove the batteries. Loosen all the screws (2 each on left and right) securing the kerf boards until the kerf boards can still be easily moved by hand. Lower the handle fully, then pull and turn the stopper pin to lock the handle in the lowered position. Release the stopper pin on the sliding pole and 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 the 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 to the workpiece minimizing workpiece tear-out.

Maintaining maximum cutting capacity

This tool is factory adjusted to provide the maximum cutting capacity for a 305 mm saw blade.
When installing a new blade, always check the lower limit position of the blade and if necessary, adjust it as follows: First, remove the batteries. Turn the stopper lever to the engaged position.
► Fig.17: 1. Stopper lever
Push the carriage toward the guide fence fully and lower the handle completely.
Adjust the blade position by turning the adjusting bolt with the hex wrench. The periphery of the blade should come to the point where the front face of the guide fence meets the top surface of the turn base and also it should extend slightly below the top surface of the turn base.
► Fig.18: 1. Adjusting bolt
► Fig.19: 1. Top surface of turn base 2. The periphery of blade 3.

WARNING: Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide fence. The screws should be installed so that the screw heads are below the surface of the wood facing so that they will not interfere with the positioning of the material being cut. Misalignment of the material being cut can cause unexpected movement during the cutting operation which may result in a loss of control and serious personal injury.

CAUTION: Use straight wood of even thickness for the wood facing.
CAUTION: In order to completely cut through workpieces with a height of 107 mm to 120 mm, a wood facing should be used on the guide fence.
The wood facing will space the workpiece away from the fence allowing the blade to complete a deeper cut.
NOTICE: When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn base with the handle lowered. The blade and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
The use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free cuts in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the guide fence using the holes in the guide fence and 6 mm screws. See the figure concerning the dimensions for a suggested wood facing.
