3. To remove the rip fence, pull the lever on the knob
and pivot the knob fully forward while pulling the lever.
To check if the rip fence is parallel with the saw blade,
secure the rip fence 2 - 3 mm from the saw blade. Raise
the blade up to maximum elevation. Mark one of the
blade teeth with a crayon. Measure the distance (A) and
(B) between the rip fence and saw blade. Take both mea-
surements using the tooth marked with the crayon. These
two measurements should be identical. If the rip fence is
not parallel with the saw blade, proceed as follows:
► Fig.28: 1. Scale
1. Position the rip fence in the sliding position.
2. Loosen the two hex bolts on the rip fence with the
hex wrench provided.
► Fig.29: 1. Hex bolts
3. Adjust the rip fence until it becomes parallel with
the saw blade.
4.
Pivot down the knob on the rip fence toward the
operator.
5. Tighten the two hex bolts on the rip fence.

CAUTION:
Be sure to adjust the rip fence so
that it is parallel with the saw blade, or a danger-
ous kickback condition may occur.
When the rip fence cannot be secured solidly, adjust it
according to the following procedure.
1. Set the rip fence on the table and then pivot the
knob on the half way of its travel (moving position).
Tighten the screw (A) until the rip fence is immobilized.
Then loosen a 1/4 to 1/2 turn.

4. Screw (A)
2. Tighten the screw (B) fully and then loosen about
2 full revolutions.
3. Lock the rip fence by fully pivoting the knob on the
fence holder (lock position).
4.
Make sure that the rip fence can be installed and
removed in the original position (released position).
5. Make sure that the rip fence can be slid smoothly
with no wobble when the knob is on half way of its travel.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to tighten screws with
more than tightening amount specified in the
above instructions. Failure to do so may damage
the fastened parts.
Bring the rip fence up flush against the side of the saw
blade. Make sure that the guideline on the fence holder
points to the 0 graduation. If the guideline does not
point to the 0 graduation, loosen the screw on the scale
plate and adjust the scale plate.

OPERATION
This tool is intended to cut wood 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.
CAUTION:
Always use "work helpers" such
as push sticks and push blocks when there is a
danger that your hands or fingers will come close
to the saw blade.
CAUTION:
Always hold the workpiece firmly
with the table and the rip fence or miter gauge. Do
not bend or twist it while feeding. If the workpiece
is bent or twisted, dangerous kickbacks may occur.
CAUTION:
NEVER withdraw the workpiece
while the saw blade is running. If you must with-
draw the workpiece before completing a cut, first
switch the tool off while holding the workpiece
firmly. Wait until the saw blade has come to a
complete stop before withdrawing the workpiece.
Failure to do so may cause dangerous kickbacks.
CAUTION:
NEVER remove cut-off material
while the saw blade is running.
CAUTION:
NEVER place your hands or fin-
gers in the path of the saw blade. Be especially
careful with bevel cuts.
CAUTION:
Always secure the rip fence firmly,
or dangerous kickbacks may occur.
CAUTION:
Always use "work helpers" such
as push sticks and push blocks when cutting
small or narrow workpieces.
Work helpers
Push sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of
"work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cuts with-
out the need for the operator to contact the saw blade
with any part of the body.
Push block
► Fig.35: 1. Face/edge parallel 2. Handle 3. Wood
screw 4. Glue together
Use a 19 mm piece of plywood.
Handle should be in center of plywood piece. Fasten
with glue and wood screws as shown. Small piece 9.5
mm x 8 mm x 50 mm of wood must always be glued to
plywood to keep the saw blade from dulling if the oper-
ator cuts into push block by mistake. (Never use nails in
push block.)
Auxiliary fence
► Fig.36: 1. Face/edge parallel
Make auxiliary fence from 9.5 mm and 19 mm plywood
pieces.
