[. . . ] WARNING: For your personal safety, READ and UNDERSTAND before using. Due to our continuing programme of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice. ⷠNote: Specifications may differ from country to country. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area. [. . . ] CAUTION: When performing left bevel cuts, flip the fence over to the left position as shown in the figure. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a part of the tool, causing possible serious injury to the operator. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. if some part contacts the vise , re-position the vise. Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the turn base. position the workpiece at the desired cutting position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob. CAUTION: The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base and guide fence with the vise during all operations. Tighten the screws which come with the sub-fence R to secure the sub-fence R. The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions 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. To grip the workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut to the right. When installing the horizontal vise on the right side of the base, also use the sub-fence R to secure the workpiece more firmly. The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the guide fence or the base. Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence or the base and tighten the screw on the back of the guide fence to secure the vise rod. CAUTION: Before use, be sure to release the handle from the lowered position by pulling the stopper pin. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece, etc. Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle when cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Push down handle with only as much force as is necessary for smooth cutting and without significant decrease in blade speed. gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired. During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward the guide fence without stopping. [. . . ] After replacing brushes, plug in the tool and break in brushes by running tool with no load for about 10 minutes. Then check the tool while running and electric brake operation when releasing the switch trigger. If electric brake is not working well, ask your local Makita service center for repair. After use, wipe off chips and dust adhering to the tool with a cloth or the like. [. . . ]
