If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust

adheres to it in such a way that the blade 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.

If the blade guard is especially dirty and vision through the

guard is impaired, use the supplied socket 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 procedure above and secure

bolt. Do not remove spring holding blade guard. If guard

becomes discolored through age or UV light exposure, con-

tact a Makita service center for a new guard. DO NOT

DEFEAT OR REMOVE GUARD.

Positioning kerf board

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:

1. Blade guard

1. Knob

2. Kerf board
