Hex wrench storage

Fig.6

When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the

figure to keep it from being lost.

OPERATION

CAUTION:

• Always hold the base flush with the workpiece.

Failure to do so may cause blade breakage,

resulting in a serious injury.

• Advance the tool very slowly when cutting curves or

scrolling. Forcing the tool may cause a slanted

cutting surface and blade breakage.

• Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the main

handle when performing the tool. If necessary, the

front part of the tool may be supported by the other

hand.

Turn the tool on without the blade making any contact

and wait until the blade attains full speed.

Fig.7

Then rest the base flat on the workpiece and gently move

the tool forward along the previously marked cutting line.

Bevel cutting

Fig.8

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before tilting the base.

With the base tilted, you can make bevel cuts at any

angle between 0° and 45° (left or right).

Fig.9

Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex

wrench. Move the base so that the bolt is positioned in

the center of the cross-shaped slot in the base.

Fig.10

Tilt the base until the desired bevel angle is obtained.

The edge of the housing indicates the bevel angle by

graduations. Then tighten the bolt to secure the base.

Front flush cuts

Fig.11

Loosen the bolt on the back of the base with the hex

wrench and slide the base all the way back. Then tighten

the bolt to secure the base.

Cutouts

Cutouts can be made with either of two methods A or B.

A) Boring a starting hole

Fig.12

For internal cutouts without a lead-in cut from an

edge, pre-drill a starting hole 12 mm or more in

diameter. Insert the blade into this hole to start your

cut.

B) Plunge cutting

Fig.13

You need not bore a starting hole or make a lead-in

cut if you carefully do as follows.

(1) Tilt the tool up on the front edge of the base

with the blade point positioned just above the

workpiece surface.

(2) Apply pressure to the tool so that the front

edge of the base will not move when you

switch on the tool and gently lower the back

end of the tool slowly.

(3) As the blade pierces the workpiece, slowly

lower the base of the tool down onto the

workpiece surface.

(4) Complete the cut in the normal manner.

Finishing edges

Fig.14

To trim edges or make dimensional adjustments, run the

blade lightly along the cut edges.

Metal cutting

Always use a suitable coolant (cutting oil) when cutting

metal. Failure to do so will cause significant blade wear.

The underside of the workpiece can be greased instead

of using a coolant.

Dust extraction

Fig.15

Clean cutting operations can be performed by connecting

this tool to a Makita vacuum cleaner. Insert the hose of

the vacuum cleaner into the hole at the rear of the tool.

Rip fence (Optional accessory)

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before installing or removing

accessories.

1. Straight cuts

Fig.16

When repeatedly cutting widths of 160 mm or less,

use of the rip fence will assure, clean, straight cuts.

Fig.17

To install, insert the rip fence into the rectangular

hole on the side of the base with the fence guide

facing down. Slide the rip fence to the desired

cutting width position, then tighten the bolt to

secure it.

2. Circular cuts

When cutting circles or arcs of 170 mm or less in

radius, install the rip fence as follows.

Fig.18

Insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on the

side of the base with the fence guide facing up.

Insert the circular guide pin through either of the

two holes on the fence guide. Screw the threaded
